Summary

Apple cv. Gala fruits were treated with 9 or 13.6 kPa CO2 and 2.3 kPa O2 for 5, 10 or 15 days before transfer to controlled atmosphere chambers with 1.0 kPa O2 and 3.0 kPa CO2 at 1 °C and 97% RH. After 8 months of storage and 7 days under ambient conditions, the high CO2 treatments did not show effects on fruit firmness, total soluble solids or fruit colour compared with untreated controls. Treatment with 13.6 kPa CO2 for 5 days reduced decay incidence.
