- Intervention effect Longer and more frequent warming increased cooling homogeneity of apples.
- Intervention effect Longer and more frequent warming increased mass loss of apples.
- Intervention effect Longer and more frequent warming decreased the incidence of chilling injuries in apples.
- Intervention effect Longer and more frequent warming decreased energy consumption in apple cold storage.
- Association Chilling injuries of apples increased near the bottom of the pallet, where the higher cooling rate is the stated cause.
