Abstract
Abstract Bitter pit was controlled and senescence delayed in apples stored at ambient temperature (~20°C) by dipping the fruit in calcium chloride after harvest. The application of a partial vacuum while fruit were submerged was the most effective method. This permitted rinsing of the fruit afterwards to reduce the likelihood of skin injury.
