Original Abstract

This work is focused on an analysis of surface lipids of different varieties of apples stored in a normal atmosphere and a modified atmosphere with ultra-low oxygen content, for 4 months and 6 months. The major fatty acids in apple surface layers are palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid. During the 6-months storage period, a variety-specific decrease in the total fatty acids content and an increase in saturation degree was observed in all the varieties tested, when compared with the 4-months storage. The greatest differences in saturation degree were observed in the Golden Delicious variety, in which the highest content of unsaturated fatty acids was also found.
