Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Spectra of apples showed no significant information from picking dates or shelf life periods.
- Association Differences between cultivars and storage periods mostly related to the number of aliphatic chains.
- Observation The presence of alpha-farnesene was related to differences between cultivars and storage periods.
- Observation Raman spectroscopy and DRIFTS gave no satisfactory results for apple wax.
