Benefits of CA: Helps retain firmness, acidity and skin color. Reduces core flush.
Benefits of Ethylene Removal: May help maintain firmness.
Special Treatments Before Shipping: Rapid cooling of apples is recommended. Rapid establishment of CA is beneficial to retention ol quality.
Mixed Loads: Apples generate ethylene and so should not be shipped with ethylene-sensitive commodities such as kiwifruit, persimmon, carrots, celery, cabbage, lettuce, and some flowers and nursery plants. Apples may absorb aromas from onions, garlic, and potatoes.
Cautions: Low O2 (less than 1%) can result in alcoholic off-flavors. High CO2 (greater than 6% continuous or greater than 15% for 10 days or more) can result in CO2injury. Relative humidity greater than 98% may cause skin cracking. Golden Delicious apples are susceptible to scald, shrivel and ribbon scald. Golden Delicious apples grown in different regions vary in their tolerance to CO2.
