Summary

Apples (cv. Braeburn) were harvested and divided into 2 groups, viz early maturity (green background) and advanced maturity (yellow background). The relationships between cellular characteristics of cortical tissue and changes in texture after storage at 0 deg C for 16 weeks were studied. Apples of advanced maturity became mealy during cold storage, while those of less advanced maturity did not. Mealiness was associated with low adhesion between neighbouring cells and a relatively high resistance to cell rupture.
