Abstract

Abstract Commercial applications of a “rapid CA” procedure (short loading time and rapid reduction of storage O 2 to 2.5%) significantly improved retention of flesh firmness and juice acidity in controlled-atmosphere (CA)-stored apples from a wide range of production regimes. ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘McIntosh’ apples responded more to the rapid CA procedure than did ‘Spartan’ or ‘Delicious’ apples. Rapid CA maintained fruit firmness of ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Spartan’ apples picked over a wide range of maturities and reduced the susceptibility of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples to bruising.
