Summary

STORAGE OF MCINTOSH APPLES IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERES 5% CO2 + 3% O2 AT 276 K (3 DEG C) SUPPRESSED THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEADSPACE ETHANOL AND ACETALDEHYDE FROM THAT IN APPLES STORED IN AIR AT 273 K (0 DEG C) (RA). ACETALDEHYDE, ETHANOL, ETHYL BUTYRATE AND HEXANAL PRODUCTION FROM INTACT FRUIT WAS FURTHER SUPPRESSED WHEN THE APPLES WERE STORED IN 1.5% CO2 + 1.5% O2 OR 1.5% CO2 + 1% O2 AT 276 K. HOWEVER STORAGE OF FRUIT IN 1.5% CO2 + 1% O2 FOR 320 DAYS COMPLETELY SUPPRESSED THE PRINCIPAL HEADSPACE VOLATILES AND BLOCKED THEIR SUBSEQUENT REGENERATION IN RA.
