Modification of internal carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in apple fruit by postharvest calcium application and modified atmospheres.

Author(s) : HEWETT E. W., THOMPSON C. J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

CO2 levels in the core of Cox's Orange Pippin and Braeburn apples, stored in air at 1 deg C in 1984 and 1985, were higher than in the surrounding air. Vacuum infiltration of fruits with 2.5% calcium chloride increased internal CO2 and decreased oxygen levels, and increased gradients between core and outside air, in fruits stored in either air or in modified atmospheres, compared with untreated fruits.
