Abstract
A reduced rate of softening during 7 mo storage at −0.6 °C and control of breakdown that resulted from pre-storage heating of Spartan apples was not dependent on the relative humidity (RH) during the high temperature period. Weight loss during the 4 days at 38 °C and 95–100% RH was 0.23 and 1.97% at 5–10% RH. Decay was controlled more effectively at the higher level of humidity. Changes in soluble solids and titratable acidity were not affected by RH during the treatment period.
