The European Fruit Network (EUFRUIT) - Knowledge Platform

EUFRUIT Knowledge Platform is an international open access database of electronic documents related to productivity, sustainability and quality of fruit in the European fruit sector. New knowledge on fruit research and best practice approaches at a European level are available in the database. It is possible to search for information in a specific language.

Focuses are on four thematic areas of critical importance to competitiveness and innovation potential of the European fruit sector:

LB-WP4-A73

Quality retention during storage

Publication in technical journal - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage

Apples are climacteric fruits: they continue to ripe after the separation from the tree. Thus, they continue to develop from the time of harvest to their consumption. If apples are harvested before they reached their optimum ripeness for consumption, the duration of their ripening can be extended through cooling and other storage conditions. The ideal moment for harvest is when…
