Summary

THE INITIAL STORAGE OF MCINTOSH APPLES IN A LOW-OXYGEN ATMOSPHERE (LO) OF 1. 5% CO2 AND 1.0% O2 AT 276 K (3 DEG C) FOR 1.25 MONTHS REDUCED THE RATE OF TITRATABLE ACIDS LOSS AND THE RATE OF APPLE SOFTENING IN SUBSEQUENT STORAGE IN THE STANDARD CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE OF 5.0% CO2 AND 3.0% O2 AT 276 K. WITH TOTAL STORAGE TIME OF 7.5 MONTHS, THE INITIAL LO STORAGE EFFECT ON TITRATABLE ACID AND FIRMNESS LOSS WAS OBSERVED. SPARTAN APPLES STORED INITIALLY IN LO AT 273 K (0 DEG C) WERE DETERMINED BY A TRAINED PANEL TO RETAIN CRISPNESS AND HARDNESS IN CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES OF 3.0% CO2 AND 2. 5% O2 AT 273 K, WITH THE HIGHEST RATINGS OBTAINED FOR DURATIONS OF 3.0 MONTHS IN LO AND 4.5 MONTHS IN STANDARD ATMOSPHERES. GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES STORED FOR 4.5 MONTHS IN LO PLUS 3.0 MONTHS IN 3.0% CO2 AND 2.5% O2 AT 273 K WERE DETERMINED TO BE THE CRISPEST AND HARDEST.
