Warehousing

The purpose of storage is to extend the consumption season of the fruit. This is important to keep up with market demands, and the producer will also be able to generate higher sales in spring period. Our goal during storage is to minimize the physiological processes of the harvested fruit (respiration, enzymatic activity), thus preserving the hardness of the meat and reducing apple decay and the reduction of acid, flavor and fragrance content. This is mainly achieved by cooling the apples. However, in conventional, normal-space refrigerated storage, the loss of storage can be quite high and the quality is often poor.
