Freshness represents one of the main characteristics of consumer choice of fruits and vegetables. The apple storage by controlled atmosphere is a technique for quality fruit preservation involving careful control of temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity. During storage in controlled atmosphere storing rooms for a long period fruits lose their freshness and some of their characteristics depreciate. The objective evaluation of the quality of fruits is a difficult task, mainly due to the fact that every single person is not necessarily influenced by the same attributes and that the quality scale may vary strongly from one person to another. In this article we characterized four types of apples stored in refrigeration industrial conditions concerning their freshness, smell, aroma, juiceness, crispness using sensorial analysis and some physico-chemical characteristics as extract content, pH, and firmness.
