Summary

THE SOFTENING RATES OF < ROME > APPLES FROM 10 WEST VIRGINIA ORCHARDS STORED AT 2 TEMPERATURES WERE COMPARED IN 1974, 1976, AND 1978. THE RATE OF SOFTENING AT 293 K (20 DEG C) DECLINED WITH TIME AFTER HARVEST, AND DELAYING HARVEST REDUCED THE RATE OF SOFTENING AT 293 K BUT HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON SOFTENING AT 273 K (0 DEG C). SITE HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON RATE OF SOFTENING. IN 2 OF THE 3 YEARS, THE RATE OF SOFTENING AT 273 K WAS FOUND TO BE CORRELATED WITH FIRMNESS AT HARVEST AND SOFTENING AT 293 K. REGRESSION ANALYSIS PROVIDED FORMULAS THAT CAN BE USED TO PREDICT SOFTENING RATE IN REFRIGERATED AIR STORAGE AT 273 K FROM FIRMNESS DATA AT HARVEST.
