This study was conducted during the seasons of 2001 and 2002 on apple fruits (M. domestica) cv. Red Delicious grown at eastern part of Libya, at El-Gabel El- Akhder region to investigated the impact of three picking dates (28/Aug., 7/Sept. and 24/Sept.) on the quality of fresh and stored fruits (for long term storage,172 days at 0°C and RH 85 ± 3%).
The results indicated that the third picking date (24/Sept.) was the proper date among the evaluated dates in this study in term of direct conception, the fruits of third picking date were; high in TSS , low either in acidity, starch or weight loss and achieved high score of color development as comparing with the fruits condition of the early and middle ones. While the second picking date (7/Sept.) was suitable for storing the fruits. While the second picking date (7/Sept.) was suitable for storing the fruits, At the end of storage duration the fruit quality of this date was superior as comparing with the early and late ones in term of lower wastage (due mainly to physiological disorder). While the results do not reveal any significant interactions among the stored fruits of the three picking dates in acidity, TSS, firmness and weight loss.
