Short term storage of late-harvested Red Delicious.

Red Delicious' apples must be highly coloured to be accepted in the marketplace. Growers with lower colour strains of Red Delicious leave the fruit on the tree beyond optimum maturity for storage to optimize red colour development. Once harvested, this fruit does not hold up in storage. In a series of trials to improve post storage quality, the fruits were treated with chemicals (ReTain, diphenylamine) and/or various storage treatments: low oxygen shock, high carbon dioxide shock, controlled atmosphere. None of the atmosphere treatments was superior to controlled atmosphere. Fruits treated with ReTain or DPA were superior to those not treated.
