Influence of dip, low, medium, and high vacuum applications of 5 inorganic chemicals on “Golden Delicious”; apple was studied after 5 months of 0° C storage. Urea delayed ground color development, increased internal breakdown, but decreased firmness. Magnesium chloride induced severe incidence of a bitter pit-like symptom which did not have corky tissue. Soluble solids and titratable acidity were not affected by any of the treatments. Calcium chloride decreased bitter pit but increased water soaked appearance and firmness. In general, a simple dip of fruit in calcium chloride can be recommended for retention of apple firmness in the storage rather than vacuum infiltration. |
