Summary

THE POSTSTORAGE USES OF A SUCROSE-FATTY ACID POLYESTER (SPE) FORMULATION, COMMERCIAL FRUIT WAX AND A COMBINATION OF BOTH WERE INVESTIGATED ON < GOLDEN DELICIOUS > APPLES AFTER FRUIT WERE REMOVED FROM CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (CA) AND REFRIGERATED STORAGE. QUALITY PARAMETERS MEASURED INCLUDED COLOUR, FIRMNESS, SOLUBLE SOLIDS AND TITRATABLE ACIDITY. PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS MEASURED WERE CARBON DIOXIDE AND ETHYLENE CONCENTRATIONS. REFRIGERATED STORED APPLES, TREATED WITH SPE, DISPLAYED RETARDED COLOUR DEVELOPMENT, HIGHER ACID AND GREATER FIRMNESS VALUES. CA STORED, TREATED APPLES POSSESSED SIMILAR ATTRIBUTES BUT NO FIRMNESS RETENTION. ETHYLENE EVOLUTION WAS REDUCED IN SPE-COATED APPLES.
