Summary

The experiment was carried out in 2002-2005 on 'Topaz' apples picked from trees grafted on M.9 rootstock. The apples were harvested on 3 different dates, 7 days apart. They were then stored for 180 days in a normal atmosphere at 0-1°C, and for an additional 7 days at 17°C to simulate the shelf-life period. The harvest date affected fruit firmness and acid content in each of the three cases. The soluble solids content was slightly affected by the harvest date after the storage period but not after the shelf-life period. Delayed harvest time increased the percentage of decayed apples.
