Abstract During long-term storage of apples, detection of low O2 stress is used to optimiselow O2 storage regimes for dynamic controlled atmosphere(DCA) storage.Monitoring respiratory characteristics, specifically the respiratory quotient (RQ),provides a tool to achieve this. The objectives of this study were to evaluateprotocols to monitor response of apple consignments to low O2 using a respirationchamber, the SafePod, designed for use in commercial stores and researchlaboratories, and to compare the RQ response to changes in chlorophyllfluorescence(CF) yield from the fruit skin as used in DCA-CF. Protocols to identify the lowest oxygen limit (LOL),the O2 concentration belowwhich RQ rises,were tested using Braeburn'(sensitive to low O2) and Gala’(lesssensitive to low O2). A protocol that allows fruit to acclimatise at each O2concentration takes several weeks and is therefore not practical for commercial use.A rapid profile without fruit acclimatisation can be completed in 2-3 days. Althoughthis underestimates RQ values, and results in an increase in RQ at a higher O2concentration than observed for acclimatised fruit, the rapid RQ protocol provides apractical method to compare response of apple consignments between cultivars,orchards and seasons. By the rapid protocol, the LOL ofBraeburn' consignmentswas near 0.6 kPa and of Gala'consignments was near 0.2 kPa, consistent withdetection of alcoholic taints below the LOL in each case. The RQ response using theSafePod was consistent with increase in CF yield using HarvestWatchTM. Fruit respiration rates change through the storage season, including a substantialdecrease over the first 2 months after harvest. As RQ response is affected byrespiration rate, accurate comparison of consignments depends on profiles beingmeasured at the same stage in the storage season. It is more difficult to determinethe LOL by RQ profiling later in the season when respiration rates are lower.
