Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect ReTain reduced apple volatile production by 19%.
- Mechanism ReTain inhibition of volatile production appeared independent of respiration but related to ethylene producing capacity.
- Intervention effect ReTain reduced flavor related volatile esters.
- Intervention effect ReTain did not affect the apple spicy flavor compound 4-methoxy-2-propenylbenzene.
- Intervention effect Controlled atmosphere storage substantially reduced volatile production relative to refrigerated air storage.
- Observation The controlled atmosphere reduction in volatiles was more discernible after ReTain treatment.
- Intervention effect Ethrel after ReTain gave intermediate volatile production between ReTain alone and control in controlled atmosphere stored fruit.
- Recommendation The authors suggest ReTain could improve harvest scheduling without appreciable loss of refrigerated air stored fruit quality.
- Mechanism The authors suggest ReTain reduction of alpha-farnesene production may reduce scald potential in controlled atmosphere stored fruit.
