The cold storage of Mairac® apples was tested from 2002 to 2004. The objective was to compare the cold storage in controlled atmosphere CA and ULO (Ultra Low Oxygen) and to determine the optimal harvest period. The cold storage of Mairac® apples in ULO gave the best results. Quality parameters such as firmness and malic acid content of the fruits were better and the propagation and intensity of core browning was reduced. The cold storage of Mairac® apples in ULO conditions allows maintaining the quality and reducing the brown heart disease till the month of May.
