Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DCA) is beneficial in maintaining specific quality parameters but, due to the extreme oxygen levels applied, can cause adverse effects on the fruit by inducing excessive anaerobic metabolism and the production of off-flavors. The metabolic adaptation and responses of apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) cv. Red Delicious t...

... T2 (20 DIA), anoth­ er 60 fruit were moved from 0.3% to 0.8% oxygen and were called Shift 2. Shift 3 was performed at T3 (31 DIA) and Shift 4 took place at T4 (110 DIA). A schematic diagram of the experimental design is reported in figure 1. At each sampling point, three biological replicates taken from three different fruit for each treatment were considered. ...
