Summary

STORAGE OF APPLES IN LOW O2 ATMOSPHERES (1.5% CO2 + 1.0% O2) MAINTAINED FRUIT FIRMNESS BY AN AVERAGE OF 0.86 KG OVER 40 GROWER LOTS, COMPARED WITH THE SAME FRUIT STORED IN CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES (5% CO2 + 2.8% O2). LOW O2 STORAGE RESULTED IN FRUIT WHICH WERE HIGHER IN TITRATABLE ACIDS AND WERE SIGNIFICANTLY CRISPER, MORE ACID, AND JUICIER TO SENSORY PANELISTS. FRUIT MATURITY AT HARVEST WAS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE LOSSES OF FIRMNESS AND TITRATABLE ACIDS IN LOW O2 STORAGE.
