Summary

In general, it was found that apples could be stored for a longer period of time and still maintain good quality when controlled atmosphere was used. The results showed a positive effect of reduced oxygen both immediately after storage and after shelf-life trials. Firmer fruits with better skin colour, higher soluble solids content as well as lower pH were some of the important advantages of controlled atmosphere storage compared to normal air storage.
