Effect of growing location, harvest maturity and ventilation during storage on ripening and superficial scald of "Starking Delicious" apples.

Starking Delicious apple fruits were harvested at 2 or 3 maturity stages from 2 locations at 500 and 700 m a.s.l. in Macedonia (northern Greece). Ripening parameters (flesh firmness, SS content and internal ethylene concentration) and scald incidence were measured after storage (0.5 deg C and 95% RH) in air with or without ventilation. During storage fruit samples were analysed for SS content, firmness and scald. Results showed that fruit ripening advanced during storage at the same rate in all samples regardless of location and harvest date. Fruits were soft by the end of the storage period (5-6 months). Early harvested fruits from both locations developed a high incidence of scald after 5 months' storage. Fruits from the higher altitude developed less scald than fruits from the lower altitude. Ventilation during storage significantly reduced the incidence of scald in the fruits from both locations. Scald was low in the ventilated fruits, even after a 5-day shelf life.
