Summary

Treatment with 10% oil emulsion reduced production of ethylene, alpha-farnesene, and major volatile esters in the first 3 months of storage, but this trend reversed after 5 months. After 6 months at 0 °C plus 7 days at 20 °C, oil-treated fruits were firmer and greener and had higher levels of titratable acidity than the controls. In addition, control fruits developed 27% and 42% scald in Golden Supreme and Delicious apples, respectively, whereas oil-treated fruits were free from scald.
