Summary

The Pink Lady® apple is problemless in cold storage for internal quality but it is susceptible to two storage diseases: common scald and internal browning. Different storage conditions were tested during four years in order to reduce their occurrence. Under ULO (ultra low oxygen) conditions, scald development could be avoided? The use of 1-MCP was in return only partially effective against this storage disease. In the authors' tests, scald developed mainly in the stem cavity of the fruits despite of this treatment. Storage at higher temperatures from 3.5 to 4°C reduced the appearance of internal browning. According to the results it is recommended to store Pink Lady apples under ULO conditions at a temperature from 3.5 to 4°C.
