Summary

Early harvest fruits do not benefit from low oxygen (1 and 2% O2) because they do not reach the optimal SSC (soluble solids concentration), whereas for late harvest apricots the use of 1% O2 at a higher temperature than that used commercially can be an alternative to low temperature as shipping treatment or short term storage.
