Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Calcium-treated apple fruit cell walls showed no swelling during storage and retained cell contact.
- Observation Untreated fruit middle lamellae became lightly stained, distended and separated during storage.
- Observation Control fruit lost microfibril orientation in distended cell walls.
- Observation The middle lamella of control fruit became fenestrated and sometimes completely degraded.
- Observation Control fruit cell-wall arabinose and galactose moieties decreased during storage.
- Observation Soluble pectin increased in control fruit during storage.
- Intervention effect Calcium treatment reduced galactose loss during storage.
- Association Fruit cortex calcium content positively correlated with tensile strength and firmness.
- Observation Control fruit tissue failed by separation at the middle lamella under excessive tensile stress.
- Observation Calcium-treated fruit cylinders fractured through cortical cell walls under tensile stress.
