Quality changes of some apple cultivars stored in normal atmosphere for long periods.

Author(s) : ERTURK U., AKBUDAK B., OZER M. H.

Summary

The research was conducted with apple (Malus communis L.) cultivars Granny Smith, Elstar and Jonagold between 1999-2001. Fruits were stored at 0 plus or minus 5°C and 90-95% relative humidity under normal atmosphere. During the storage period and at the end of shelf life, physical and chemical analysis as weight loss, respiration rate, titratable acidity, pH, water soluble solids, fruit flesh firmness, pectin esterase activity, and fruit skin colour were determined. The optimum storage period for each apple cultivar was determined.
