Abstract
SUMMARYStorage of Cox's Orange Pippin apples in 5% CO2+ 3% O2 or 0% CO2+ 3% O2 at 3·3° C. reduced rotting by Gloeosporium spp., as compared with storage in air. 5% CO2+ 16% O2 was less effective and reduced rotting on fewer occasions. In some years no reduction of rotting was obtained by storage in these gas mixtures. Retardation of rotting was sometimes achieved during the early part of the storage period by treatments which did not control rotting over the whole period. Production of pectolytic enzymes was reduced by incubation in these atmospheric conditions; the effect on G. album was greater than on G. perennans.
