Summary

Preclimacteric 'Empire' apples are prone to a CO2-linked disorder (CLD); symptoms resemble superficial scald. Effects of acclimatizing preclimacteric fruit at 3 °C, either in air or at low O2 levels prior to elevation of the CO2 concentration during subsequent long-term controlled atmosphere (CA) storage, were investigated. The 'Empire' CLD was effectively controlled by conditioning fruit at 3 °C (but not at 0 °C) for 3-4 weeks at 1.5-3% O2 without CO2 prior to CA storage at 1.5% O2 + 3% CO2.
