Summary

SPARTAN APPLES FROM THREE HARVESTS STORED FOR 237, 229 AND 221 DAYS IN 1983-84 AT 276 K (3 DEG C) AND FROM TWO HARVESTS STORED FOR 202 AND 194 DAYS IN 1984-85 AT 276 K IN 2:1 (% CO2:% O2 ) HAVE SHOWN THE HIGHEST FIRMNESS AND TITRATABLE ACIDITY WHEN COMPARED TO THE FIRMNESS OF APPLES STORED IN 0:1, 5:3, 2:2 AND 0:3. THE HIGH FIRMNESS IN 2:1 IS A RESULT OF A VERY STRONG INHIBITION OF SOFTENING (RIPENING) OR A RESULT OF THE COMBINED INHIBITORY EFFECT OF VERY LOW O2 (1%) AND ELEVATED (2%) CO2 LEVELS. APPLES IN CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES UNDER HIGH AND LOW ETHYLENE CONDITIONS HAVE SHOWN NO RESPONSE TO ETHYLENE REMOVAL IN 2:1, 0:1, 2:2 AND 0:3. THE HIGHER FIRMNESS OF APPLES AT 276 K IN LOW O2 ATMOSPHERES UNDER HIGH ETHYLENE CONDITIONS AND OF APPLES FROM FIRST HARVEST STORED IN 5:3 UNDER LOW ETHYLENE CONDITIONS PERSISTED AFTER ADDITIONAL STORAGE FOR 7 DAYS AT 291 K (18 DEG C).
