Summary

Fruit quality, sensory characteristics and volatiles produced by apple (Malus domestica cv. Gala) were characterized following regular atmosphere storage without and with a prestorage heat treatment (38 °C for 4 days) or controlled atmosphere storage at 0 and 2 °C for 0 to 6 months plus 7-day shelf life at 20 °C. Quality characteristics declined between 2 and 4 months of storage. The results indicated that short-term controlled atmosphere storage can maintain instrumental and sensory quality of Gala.
