Summary

Three experiments were conducted: "Cortland" and "Delicious" apples were harvested at four weekly intervals; "Cortland" apples were induced to ripen prematurely with ethephon sprays; "Cortland" apples were enclosed in brown bags for six weeks before harvest. At harvest and after intervals of storage at 0 deg C, concentrations of alpha-farnesene and conjugated trienes, estimates of total lipid-soluble and total water-soluble antioxidant activity, and concentrations of alpha-tocopherol, carotenes, ascorbic acid, glutathione, anthocyanins and flavonols in fruit peel were measured. Results are given.
