Fruit of Liao Fu' apple infiltrated postharvest with CaCl2 solution of up to 6% (W/V) has higher flesh firmness and lower rates of K ion leakage from cortical tissue than untreated fruit, and the fruit infiltrated with deioned water during a 12-day period at ambient temperature immediately following treatment. Changes of flesh firmness and the rates of K ion leakage were related to the applied CaCl2 Concentrations; However high CaCl2 concentration induced some surface injury, which was more obvious in the later days of storage.
