Summary

THE PERMEABILITY OF THE FLESH OF APPLES APPEARED TO FOLLOW A PHASIC PATTERN WITH AGING. A PHASE OF INITIAL REDUCTION OF PERMEABILITY PRECEDED A LARGE INCREASE, THEN THERE WAS A SLIGHT TRANSIENT DECREASE IN PERMEABILITY, AND FINALLY A SLIGHT INCREASE. FIELD TREATMENT WITH BUTANEDIOIC ACID MONO (2.2-DIMETHYLHYDRAZIDE) (DAMINOZIDE), EARLY HARVEST, CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE AND LOW-PRESSURE STORAGE AS WELL AS STORAGE AT 273.5 AND 276.5 K (0.5 AND 3.5 DEG C) FAVOURED A REDUCTION OF PERMEABILITY. THE EFFECT OF LOW-PRESSURE STORAGE APPEARED TO BE DUE TO A DELAY OF RIPENING AS EVIDENT IN DELAYED C2H4 PRODUCTION ; THAT OF CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE SEEMED TO BE DUE TO SOME EFFECT OF THE ATMOSPHERE OTHER THAN ONE UPON RIPENING, BECAUSE THE FRUIT PRODUCED C2H4 UPON REMOVAL FROM STORAGE.
