Ultra-low oxygen storage of "Golden Delicious" apples.

Author(s) : RIZZOLO A., VANOLI M., VISAI C., et al.

Summary

In Italy, "Golden Delicious" apples are stored in controlled atmosphere (CA) until May, but CA apples suffer from a lack of flavour at the end of storage. Improved fruit quality and extended storage life can be achieved by storing apples in ultra-low oxygen (ULO) atmosphere. The aim of the work is to study the feasibility of ULO storage for "Golden Delicious" apples. With the post-storage ripening, ULO stored apples produced more total volatiles than CA; ULO atmosphere delayed maximum ethylene and volatile productions, as well as the development of selected volatiles. At tasting, ULO apples were firmer, more juicy and sour and had a good distinct flavour.
