“…This finding could be related to the damage due to accumulation of anaerobic metabolism compounds. However, when 'Galaxy' and 'Royal Gala' apples were in a DCA storage where the oxygen partial pressure was monitored by the respiratory quotient (DCA-RQ), and possessing an average O 2 near to 0.25 kPa, flesh firmness maintenance was observed (Thewes et al 2017;Both et al 2017).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of storing 'Royal Gala' apple under extremely low oxygen partial pressures on their anaerobic metabolism, ethylene production and fruit quality after 9 months of storage plus 7 days of shelf life at 20 °C. The storage conditions tested were: 1.2 kPa O 2 + 2.0 kPa CO 2 ; 0.7 kPa O 2 + 1.5 kPa CO 2 ; 0.5 kPa O 2 + 1.2 kPa CO 2 ; 0.4 kPa O 2 + 1.2 kPa CO 2 and 0.25 kPa O 2 + 0.0 kPa CO 2. The fruit storage temperature was 1.0 °C (± 0.1). Fruit stored at 0.4 kPa O 2 + 1.2 kPa CO 2 maintained higher flesh firmness and a higher percentage of healthy fruit. The fruit stored under the 0.25 kPa O 2 + 0.0 kPa CO 2 condition had lower flesh firmness as well as a reduced percentage of healthy fruit and a high production of anaerobic metabolism compounds, such as ethanol and ethyl acetate, which may have caused fruit quality loss. The storage of 'Royal Gala' apple under 0.4 kPa O 2 + 1.2 kPa CO 2 is a technique that can be commercially applied to keep a better fruit quality after a 9 months storage period.

“…It was reported in previous studies that maturity stage had significant effects on storage or shelf-life performance of litchi, 6 sweet cherries, 7 banana, 8 plums, 9 peaches, 10 and apples. 5 Different postharvest packaging treatments maintained fruit quality attributes for longer periods during the cold storage and shelf life of various fruit species. Modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatments reduce respiration rates within the package through the changing oxygen (O 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations and thus retard senescence of fruit.…”

Physicochemical properties and transcriptional changes underlying the quality of ‘Gala’ apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) under atmosphere manipulation in long‐term storage

BACKGROUND The year‐round availability of apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) depends on post‐harvest technologies, which are essential for the retention of fruit sensory and chemical properties by delaying senescence. The effectiveness of strategies for preserving the quality of apples depends on complex interactions between the storage environment and endogenous biological factors. In the current work, we integrated instrumental, sensory, and transcriptional data to determine the role of conservation technologies cold storage, controlled atmosphere, and 1‐methylcyclopropene‐mediated ethylene blockage on the long‐term conservation of apples. RESULTS The results demonstrated that inhibition of the consumer's perception of the apples’ ethylene content is essential for long‐term cold storage, and such quality conservation can be achieved by reducing oxygen pressure. Overall appreciation of apples after storage was determined mainly by their texture, with crispness and juiciness contributing favorably, and mealiness contributing negatively. Reduced oxygen pressure and inhibition of ethylene perception exerted distinct effects on the transcription of candidate genes associated with ripening in apple. Hexose and cell‐wall carbohydrate metabolism genes exhibit distinct expression patterns under storage. CONCLUSION Inhibition of ethylene perception and reduction of relative oxygen pressure under cold storage both promote similar conservation of apple sensory traits under long‐term cold storage. Texture was the main contributor to global appreciation of apples subjected to long‐term storage. The conditions that were investigated were able to delay, but not fully prevent, senescence, as evidenced by physicochemical and gene expression analyses. The expression of gene‐encoding enzymes involved in hexose metabolism was mainly developmentally regulated, whereas storage conditions exerted a stronger effect on the expression of genes associated with cell‐wall metabolism. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
