Abstract: Fuji”apples were treated with 0℃、CO2>40ml/L and 0℃、CO2<40ml/L respectively with 0℃ storageas control test. The browning index and activities of SOD, POD and CAT, MDA level of the flesh tissue were investigatedrespectively. The results showed that CO2>40ml/L could induce flesh browning. Activities of SOD, POD and CAT decreasednotably and MDA level and relative electrical conductivity increased sharply in the browning fruits during storage.

Key words: Fuji”apples, flesh browning, protective enzymes, cell membrane superoxidation
