Flesh firmness of apple (cv. Starking Delicious) fruits decreased rapidly during storage at room temperature (25 plus or minus 2 deg C). Catalase and glutathione reductase activities peaked twice and once (after 25 days in storage), respectively. Calcium treatment delayed fruit flesh softening, reduced the H2O2 content during the early stages of storage and increased the glutathione reductase activity of apple fruits.
