Shock treatment: physiological changes in apples, variety Golden Delicious.

Summary

In order to prolong storage life of apples, shock treatment (15% of CO2 for 20 days) was applied. Apples were then stored under ultra-low oxygen conditions (1.5% O2, 1.5% CO2) for five months. Organoleptical, chemical and physiological changes were monitored during storage (ground colour, ethanol, acetaldehyde, titratable acids, firmness).
