Summary

PRECLIMACTERIC MCINTOSH APPLES WERE STORED IN 5:3, 0:3, 2:2, 2:1 AND 0:1 (% CO2 -% O2 ) AT 276 K (3 DEG C) UNDER HIGH AND LOW ETHYLENE CONDITIONS. APPLES STORED UNDER HIGH ETHYLENE CONDITIONS RESULTED IN THE HIGHEST FIRMNESS AND TITRATABLE ACIDITY WHEN STORED IN 2:1 AND 0:1. ETHYLENE REMOVAL RESULTED IN FIRMER MCINTOSH FRUITS STORED IN 5:3 WHEN THE FRUIT WAS PICKED SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE ETHYLENE CLIMACTERIC, AND IN 5:3, 2:2 AND 0:1 WHEN APPLES WERE PICKED VERY CLOSE TO THE ETHYLENE CLIMACTERIC. NO APPRECIABLEIMPROVEMENT IN TITRATABLE ACIDITY CONTENT WAS OBSERVED IN APPLES STORED UNDER LOW ETHYLENE CONDITIONS.
