Summary

Carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations which delayed softening and loss of green colour at 15 deg C without adverse effects on the quality of Bramley's Seedling and Cox's Orange Pippin apples were defined using flow-through systems. Modified atmospheres were then developed for their post-storage marketing in 18 kg cardboard cases lined with suitable polymeric films. Low density polyethylene liners, closed by envelope folding, provided effective, reproducible atmospheres of 7-10% CO2 and 5-7% O2 for Bramley apples for 4 weeks.
