Type of article: Article

Summary

Respiration and ethylene production indicated that apples were still in the early stage of ripening after 9 months of storage in controlled low-ethylene atmosphere (LCA). Exposure to air at 20 deg C after LCA significantly increased the production of some odour volatiles while exposure to light for up to 3 weeks only slightly increased their concentration. Poststorage exposure to air of 100% oxygen at 3.3 deg C for up to 4 weeks was not effective in enhancing volatile formation.
