Changes in the Biochemical Composition and Physicochemical Properties of Apples Stored in Controlled Atmosphere Conditions

Apples are an important component of the diet and used in food industry production products beverages. The aim study was to determine changes biochemical composition physicochemical properties apples stored a controlled atmosphere. We studied (sugars, ascorbic acid, soluble solids, titratable acidity) (color coordinates, peel, flesh firmness) apple samples before placing them atmosphere chambers at end experiment 8 months later. total content sugars solids found increase I VIII conditions. showed decrease acidity all cultivars values C*, L*, a*, b* co-ordinates colors were evaluated. Apple VI conditions lightest color, their lightness close that fresh fruit. firmness peel ‘Sampion’ cultivar III–VI increased. is valuable proves that, under conditions, it possible extend time provision consumers with minimal chemical nutritional value.
