Summary

'Bravo de Esmolfe' apples originating from the parish of 'Esmolfe' are cultivated in specific regions of Portugal. This cultivar of medium to low production requires very low temperatures, but is extremely sensitive to frost. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of modified atmosphere on the quality of apple (cv. Bravo de Esmolfe) during cold storage. Apples packed in modified atmosphere lost less weight, presented better colour, and preserved better firmness than fruit stored in air.
