Maturity and Storage Impacts on Apple Volatile Production
Author: James Mattheis, John Fellman
Published: 2000
Summary: Project objectives were to 1) Determine how CA storage regimes impact the capacity of apples to produce flavor volatiles after removal from storage. This includes evaluation of novel CA regimes in which gas concentrations are manipulated during storage, 2. Develop protocols to enhance apple aroma by addition of naturally occurring volatile compounds, 3. Evaluate impacts of exogenous compounds that manipulate apple fruit ripening (methyl jasmonate, 1-methylcyclopropene) on volatile production, 4. Develop CA storage regimes for watercored Fuji apples that minimize internal browning.
