Summary

GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES WERE SAMPLED FROM REGULARLY CROPPING TREES (76 KG PER TREE) AS WELL FROM POORLY CROPPING ONES (23 KG PER TREE) ON 7TH, AND 21TH SEPTEMBER 1983. HYDROCOOLED AND NOT HYDROCOOLED SAMPLES WERE STORED AT 275 K (2 DEG C) FOR 4 MONTHS. WEIGHT LOSSES WERE HEAVIER AT STORAGE END IN THE LATEST PICKED APPLES, AND IN FRUITS FROM REGULARLY YIELDING TREES. SUCH APPLES FROM THE HYDROCOOLED SAMPLES HAD A THICKER CUTICLE. SAP OSMOTIC PRESSURE WAS HIGHER IN FRUITS FROM LOW YIELDING TREES. OSMOTIC PRESSURE WAS ALSO HIGHER AFTER STORAGE BECAUSE OF ADVANCED RIPENESS. HYDROCOOLING DECREASED OSMOTIC PRESSURE VALUES DELAYING APPLE SENESCENCE.
