Effect of harvest date on quality and decay losses after cold storage of "Golden Delicious" apples in Girona, Spain.

Author(s) : JUAN J. L., FRANCÉS J., MONTESINOS E., et al.

Summary

This study was performed in 11 orchards. Harvesting was performed on 2 different dates with an interval of 15 days between these dates, then fruit were stored for 7 months. Quality parameters were recorded at various times. Certain fruit were deliberately damaged and contaminated with Penicillium expansum in order to determine their sensitivity. The percentage of fruit of a size suitable for retail sale and sensitivity to modifications both increase with later harvesting date. Other correlations are discussed.
