Effects of emulsions of plant oils (soybean, corn, olive, peanut, linseed, and cottonseed) and oil components on scald development in `Delicious' apples (Malus domestica Borkh) were studied. Prestorage treatments with emulsions of different commercial plant oils reduced scald to the same level after 6 months of cold storage but were not as effective as 2000 mg l-1 diphenylamine (DPA). Oil components affected scald to different degrees. At emulsion strengths of 6 and 9% (w/v) neutral lipids (mono-, di-, and tri-acylglycerols) or phospholipids inhibited scald to DPA treatment levels, while-tocopherol at 0.5¯3% (w/v) increased scald development. Scald inhibition between saturated and unsaturated neutral lipids or among different acylated neutral lipids was similar. Plant oils stripped of -tocopherol at 6 or 9% controlled scald (<4%) to DPA treatment levels when blank control developed 60% scald and about 15¯20% of unstripped plant oil-treated fruit developed scald. Fruit treated with emulsions of oil or lipids did not show greasiness and did not develop off flavor after storage.
