Type of article: Article

Summary

CORTLAND APPLES WERE STORED AT 276 K (3 DEG C) IN THE FOLLOWING ATMOSPHERES (% CO2 -% O2 ): 5-3 ; 0-3 ; 0-1.5 ; 2-1.5 ; 1-1,AND IN NORMAL AIR. EACH CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE WAS MAINTAINED WITH LOW AND HIGH ETHYLENE LEV FIVE YEARS' STUDIES SHOWED THAT THE RIPENING OF CORTLAND APPLES WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED BY LOW OXYGEN STORAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF CO2, AS COMPARED TO THE STANDARD CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE IN 5-3. FRUIT STORED IN 2-1.5 AND 1-1 HAD THE HIGHEST FLESH IERDN ETHYLENE REMOVAL FROM CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES DID NOT AFFECT CORTLAND APPLES RIPENING. NONE OF THE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE TREATMENTS AFFECTED GROUND COLOUR OF SKIN, SOLUBLE SOLIDS, 1-AMINOCYCLOPROPANE-1-CARBOXYLIC ACID AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENTS.
