| Abstract | The article is presented research results of natural losses and changes in marketable quality of apples cv. Honeyсrisp different harvesting times during refrigeration storage, depending on the regime of cooling and postharvest treatment 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). It was found that economically appropriate storage of apples cv. Honeyсrisp with natural weight loss up to 10% was achieved by harvesting the fruit at the mass picking time with a weekly exposure at 10 °C, followed by slow cooling at 1 °C per day and a cold storage at the temperature of 2±1 °C. The delay of the picking and immediate cooling of fruits to a temperature of 5 °C have caused mass apple destruction of soft scald. Postharvest treatment of 1-MCP inhibits fruit rot, but not limited soft scald and natural weight loss is not affected | ||
