Summary

Quality of Jonagold apples that were harvested at two maturities as determined by starch index was evaluated over three seasons. Apple quality was evaluated after harvest and after regular-atmosphere and controlled-atmosphere storage at 2% O2 and 3% CO2, or 1% O2 and 1% CO2. At harvest, differences in firmness, soluble solids content, acids and both exterior and interior colour was evident between apples harvested at starch index 2 and 4. The best controlled-atmosphere storage atmosphere to maintain the quality of Jonagold apples was 1% O2 and 1% CO2.
