Harvest management and storage of apples in optimal conditions are critical factors in maintaining the sustainability of orchard operations. Post-harvest handling of apples, as for most horticultural products, is largely concerned with the maintenance of product quality after harvest. This chapter outlines recent advances in understanding the various factors associated with fruit physiology, maturation and ripening. It reviews harvest, handling and grading operations, and discuss postharvest storage technologies including refrigeration, controlled atmosphere (CA) storage and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). It also considers a range of postharvest treatments and the physiological disorders to which apples are subject.
