e0“For ‘McIntosh’, ‘Spartan’, and ‘Golden Delicious’ cultivars, respectively, maximum post-storage fruit firmness was reached after 7.5, 4.5, and 1.5 months of initial exposure to LO at 0° and after 4.5, 3.0, and 3.0 months at 3°.”

Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Initial low-oxygen storage retarded McIntosh firmness loss more effectively than initial standard controlled atmosphere storage.
- Intervention effect Early low-oxygen exposure suppressed subsequent softening in standard controlled atmosphere storage.
- Association McIntosh firmness retention decreased with maturity across storage regimens.
- Intervention effect Mature fruit tended to soften faster in SCA following initial LO exposure.
- Intervention effect Initial SCA for over 75 days followed by LO did not produce firmer apples than continuous SCA in 1984.
- Observation McIntosh maximum firmness required 7.5 months of initial LO at 0°.
- Observation Spartan maximum firmness required 4.5 months of initial LO at 0°.
- Observation Golden Delicious maximum firmness required 1.5 months of initial LO at 0°.
- Observation McIntosh maximum firmness required 4.5 months of initial LO at 3°.
- Observation Golden Delicious maximum firmness required 3.0 months of initial LO at 3°.
- Intervention effect Continuing LO storage generally decreased poststorage CO2 and ethylene evolution and senescent disorder severity.
- Intervention effect LO storage increased low-oxygen injury incidence.
- Intervention effect Exposure to 1.0% oxygen increased ethanol evolution in McIntosh stored at 0°.
- Intervention effect Exposure to 1.0% oxygen increased ethanol evolution in Spartan held at 0° or 3°.
