Relationship between volatile production, fruit quality and sensory evaluation of Fuji apples stored in different atmospheres by means of multivariate analysis

Aroma compounds, quality parameters and sensory evaluation of Fuji apples were analyzed after 3, 5, and 7 months of cold-storage in normal atmosphere (21%O2+0.03%CO2) and in three controlled atmosphere (CA) treatments, in which oxygen and carbon dioxide were held at 1%+1%, 1%+2% and 3%+2%. During post-storage ripening, the apples were kept at 20 ºC for 1, 5, and 10 days before analytical measurements were made. The highest volatile emission was obtained after 5 months of storage, at which controlled-atmosphere conditions gave a lower concentration than normal cold storage. Ultra low-oxygen CA showed the highest ability to maintain the fruit firmness. Significant correlation between aromatic compounds, quality parameters and sensory evaluation was found.
