INFLUENCE OF STORAGE DURATION ON APPLE FRUIT QUALITY
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
During cold storage 2015 - 2016, changes in fruit quality parameters at thirteen apple varieties (ˈGenerosˈ, ˈRusticˈ, ˈCiprianˈ, ˈTopazˈ, ˈLunaˈ, ˈOpalˈ, ˈSiriusˈ, ˈRajkaˈ, ˈGoldrushˈ, ˈCrimson Crispˈ, ˈDalinette®Choupetteˈ, ˈDalincoˈ, ˈAriwaˈ) were studied in order to determine the maximum storability time at +4°C and 95% RH. The fruits were tested in the Genetic and Breeding Department of the Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti, Romania from November 10, 2015 till January 19, 2016, at 15 days storage intervals. During first two weeks of storage, there was no change in colour and then it was changed gradually. At end of cold storage the flesh firmness declined at 6.18 kg cm-2 for 'Ciprian' cv. and 6.90 kg cm-2 for 'Rajka' cv. Increasing storage duration increased the total soluble solids content till 14,158% for 'Golden Delicious' cv. (Ct 3) and 14,098% for 'Ariwa' cv.
