Summary

MCINTOSH APPLES SPRAYED WITH 1,000 OR 2,000 MILLIGRAMMES/LITRE DAMINOZIDE WERE STORED IN SIMULATED LOW-ETHYLENE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE 7.5 AND 9.5 MONTHS. THE SIMULATED CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE WAS A FLOW-THROUGH SYSTEM WITH 2.5-3% O2, 3-5% CO2, LOWER THAN 1 MICROL/L ETHYLENE, 275 TO 276 K (2 TO 3 DEG C) AND 90-95% RH. THE RATES OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION OF THESE APPLES WERE VERY LOW IN THE FIRST 4 MONTHS, GRADUALLY INCREASED THEREAFTER, BUT REMAINED LOWER THAN 0.5 MICROL/KG.HR FOR AT LEAST 7 MONTHS. THE LOW-ETHYLENE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE EFFECTIVELY PRESERVED THE QUALITY AND INHIBITED THE ETHYLENE PRODUCTION.
