Abstract: Results of an experiment with Fuji apple variety indicated that CA storage delayed fruit softening signif icantly, and reduced the endogenous ethylene content, thus prolonged the fruit storage life up to 8 months and maintained its good quality; the main cause of flesh brow ning of Fuji apple during storage was the elevation of CO2 concent ration, however, the reduction of O2 concent ration aggravated the flesh browning; too long storage and senescence induced flesh browning of Fuji apple as well; the combination of 2% CO2 with 5% O2 was recommended CA storage conditions for Fuji apple.

Key words: Apple, Controlled atmosphere(CA) storage, Flesh browning
