Summary

ULTRA-LOW OXYGEN STORAGE CONDITIONS WERE INVESTIGATED FOR GRAND ALEXANDER, JONATHAN, STARKING, STARKRIMSON AND GRANNY SMITH APPLES AND SPADONA PEARS. THE TRIALS WERE EXTENDED TO LARGE SAMPLES FROM MANY AREAS. THE COMBINATION OF ULTRA-LOW OXYGEN WITH VERY LOW LEVELS OF CO2 IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SOME VARIETIES. SCALD APPEARED IN GRAND ALEXANDER AND GRANNY SMITH ; JONATHAN SPOT IN THE JONATHAN CV, AND INTERNAL BROWNING IN SPADONA PEARS. THESE DISORDERS WERE NOT PRESENT WHEN THE CO2 LEVEL WAS RAISED. HOWEVER, RAISING OF CO2 SOMETIMES CAUSED DISORDERS. THE MAIN DISORDER WAS CORE FLUSH IN GRAND ALEXANDER AND JONATHAN. SOME ADVANTAGES WERE GAINED BY ULTRA-LOW OXYGEN STORAGE (GRAND ALEXANDER, SLOWER RATE OF SOFTENING ; JONATHAN, IMPROVEMENT IN TASTE AND FIRMNESS ; GRANNY SMITH, LESS SCALD). IN NONE OF THE TRIALS WAS ANAEROBIC DAMAGE OBSERVED.
