In contrast, MAP1 did not slow the
respiration rate and TA reduction, therefore, had no effect on flavor loss.
The inferior flavor in MAP3 was due to a fermentative offflavor, which is related to a significant accumulation of ethanol.
‘Skeena’ synthesized a higher content of ethanol in MAP3 and developed more intensive fermentative off-flavor than ‘Lapins’. A significant increase in ethanol concentration in fruit during storage indicates the occurrence of anaerobic respiration
