Maintenance of ‘Luiza’ apple fruit quality as affected by postharvest practices
Abstract This study was carried out to examine the response of ‘Luiza’ apple to different storage atmospheres, durations, and chemical inhibition of ethylene action by 1-MCP. Analysis of fruit quality and physiological disorder incidence were performed every two months during eight months of storag...

| description | Abstract This study was carried out to examine the response of ‘Luiza’ apple to different storage atmospheres, durations, and chemical inhibition of ethylene action by 1-MCP. Analysis of fruit quality and physiological disorder incidence were performed every two months during eight months of storage for Exp. 1 and 2, and after eight months for Exp. 3. Both CA storage and 1-MCP treatment reduced fruit ethylene production and respiration and prevented the rapid fruit softening, flesh browning incidence and fungal decay of ‘Luiza’ apple. The combination of 1-MCP treatment before storage in CA provided an additional benefit in firmness retention after simulated marketing conditions at 22oC. Based on the time to reach a firmness of 53 N, the storage life of ‘Luiza’ apple is less than four months in air-storage and more than six months under CA-storage. ‘Luiza’ fruit did not develop symptoms of CO2 injury when stored under high CO2 partial pressures (up to 4.5 kPa). However, we observed increased flesh browning and fungal decay incidence for CA-stored fruit between six and eight months of storage. Therefore, the storage potential of ‘Luiza’ apple fruit may be limited to six months under CA-storage (1.5 kPa O2 and 2.5 kPa CO2). |
