Storage Conditions: Yellow Apple should be stored in a dry and cool place. The suitable storage temperature for keeping red apples is between minus 1 and plus 1 degree Celsius. During shipping, apples must be kept in a refrigerated container to prevent spoilage. Maintain a relative humidity level of 90-95% to prevent dehydration and maintain freshness.

Further Details 1
Yellow Apple storage in controlled air is regulated based on three factors explained below:
- Temperature
- Relative humidity
- Chemical composition of the air in the warehouse
By using this storage method, the intensity of the metabolic processes in the fruits is reduced and the ripening process of the fruits is slowed down, while the nutritional value and their appearance for sale are maintained, therefore, the storage period of the fruit is increased. . As a result of decreasing oxygen and increasing carbon dioxide, the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and the appearance of physiological diseases are greatly delayed.
