Objective
Characterize the impact of common postharvest practices (temperature, cold storage, controlled atmosphere, DPA, SmartFresh) on identity, concentration, and metabolism chemicals in apples. Identify dynamics of fruit constituents and relate the changes to the development of external and internal fruit physiological disorders. Create a mass spectral library documenting components found in apple peel.
