Article Synopsis
- The study investigates skin greasiness in stored 'Jonagold' apples, linking it to changes in wax components through quantitative analysis using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
- Results show that as apples become greasier, wax crystals disappear and roughness parameters (Ra, Rq, Rmax, Rz) decline significantly by 70% to 85%.
- Chemical analysis reveals an increase in liquid esters related to wax changes and highlights the role of specific genes in ester production, while treatments like 1-Methylcyclopropene can help suppress greasiness.
