The thesis being presented is study on marketable quality of early winter apple fruits cultivars ‘Calville’ and ‘Spartan’ during refrigerated storage under the condition of their post-harvest treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). The suppression of apple’s ripening after harvest is necessary to reduce the losses of marketable fruit quality during storage and receive a high economic effect from the sale of product. SmartFresh technology, based on inhibition of ethylene due to the effect of
