Summary

Golden Delicious apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) harvested at the preclimacteric and climacteric stages of ripening were stored for up to 8 months at 1 deg C in air and under various controlled atmospheres, including ultralow oxygen storage conditions. Fruits harvested at the climacteric stage produced more volatiles during all storage conditions than preclimacteric fruit. All controlled-atmosphere storage treatments suppressed aroma production compared to cold storage. The greatest reduction was found under ultralow oxygen (1%) and high CO2 (3%) conditions. A partial recovery of aroma production was observed when controlled-atmosphere fruits were subsequently stored for 14 days under cold storage conditions.
