Abstract
Jonathan apples were irradiated with /sup 60/Co gamma rays, with doses of 0 (control), 5, 50 and 200 Krad (dose rate: 100 Krad/hr), stored for 6.0 months in a CA room (oxygen 3%, carbon dioxide 3%) at 0 deg C and analyzed. No significant differences between irradiated and unirradiated apples in changes of weight, flesh age under CA conditions at 0 deg C. The irradiation of apple fruits with a dose of 200 Krad lowered their qualities in respect to respiration and organoleptic properties. Apples irradiated with a dose of 5 Krad, however, showed the lowest respiration rate and kept superior qualities which were evaluated by organoleptic tests. According to the above results, the irradiation with 5 Krad may be recommended as the pretreatment of CA storage of apple fruite. (auth)
