Summary

Firmness changes of 'Elstar', 'Jonagold' and 'Gloster' apples were investigated for three seasons on fruits harvested on three different dates in each season and then stored in a cold room at 3 °C under normal atmosphere, standard CA and ultra-low oxygen atmosphere ULO. Under normal atmosphere, fruits were stored for 3 months, whereas under CA and ULO, for 7 months. After being removed from the store, fruits were kept at 18 °C for 1, 7 and 14 days to simulate shelf-life. Changes of apple firmness during cold storage depended first of all on storage atmosphere, whereas during shelf life the effect of its duration and picking date were also significant.
