To Prevnt Appl foad
1. Store only mature, well-colored fruit.
2. Store fruit at 30 to 31 F.
3. When it is impossible to store fruit immediately after harvest,
keep it in the shade and give it free exposure to the air.
4. Wrap fruit in oiled (not waxed) paper at harvest or within not
more than 1 to 2 months after harvest. Or scatter one-half
pound of shredded oiled paper per bushel throughout packages of
nonwrapped fruit.
5. Use well-ventilated packages and stack so that air can circulate
freely. This is particularly important when the apples are stored
loose for packing as sold, EHigh humidity (90 to 95 percent)
should be maintained under these conditions to prevent shriveling.
6. Market apples before scald develops (usually within 60 to 90 days
after harvest for susceptible varieties if not protected by oiled paper).
7. Keep apples under refrigeratin after they leave storage. This
will not only retard scald development but will maintain the fruit
in a crisp, juicy condition.Important of scald control--
