Handling Tip Selection Apple should feel firm to the touch with no bruises and decay. Fresh apples should have a pleasant aroma. Firm apples are best eaten fresh while softer apples are suitable for blending and cooking. Storage Apple should be stored at 32°F - 34°F (0°C - 1.1°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and no mist. Typical shelf life is three to ten months under refrigeration depending on the variety. Apple is sensitive to odor. Do not store apples with any strong aroma item. Apple is an odor producer. Apple is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that signals fruits and vegetables to begin ripening. Do not store apples with high ethylene-producing items to extend shelf life and avoid over-ripening. Generally, apple produces a high level of ethylene. Fuji and granny smith varieties produce a low level of ethylene. Apple is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 29°F (-1.5°C). Symptoms include flesh browning, core browning, and soft flesh.
