Apples, like other fruits, are exposed to stress during their growth and development in the field, also during harvest and the postharvest environment (processing, storage, and transportation). The refrigeration system allows for bulk handling of food products from harvest to market, ensuring that food products are maintained in their freshness and integrity for an extended period through careful management of storage temperature and humidity. This study investigated the effects of storage on the weight loss of apples (Golden Delicious fruits harvested at maturity), under refrigerated conditions at a temperature of 5 ± 0.5°C and relative humidity of 82% and under ambient storage at a temperature of 25 ± 0.5°C and relative humidity of 60%, over 3 months. The findings revealed that the two groups of apples experienced weight reduction at different levels. Apples placed at cold storage presented a loss of weight between 3.31 g and 4.49 g; however, apples stored at ambient temperature showed a significant loss of weight between 21.90 g and 31.76 g.
