Apricots are seldom stored in large quantities, although they keep well for 1 to 2 weeks, or possibly even 3 to 4 weeks, depending on cultivar, at -0.5 °C to 0°C and a relative humidity of 90-95% RH. Chilling sensitive cultivars develop chilling injury symptoms (gel breakdown, flesh browning, loss of flavor) more rapidly at 5°C than at 0°C. Storage at 0°C is necessary to minimize incidence and severity of chilling injury on susceptible cultivars.
Gel Breakdown or Chilling Injury: This physiological problem is characterized in the earlier stages by the formation of water-soaked areas that subsequently turn brown. Breakdown of tissue is sometimes accompanied by sponginess and gel formation. Fruit stored at 2.2-7.6°C have short market life and lose flavor. Pit Burn: Flesh tissue around the stone softens and turns brown when the apricots are exposed to temperatures above 38°C before harvest. This heat injury increases with higher temperatures and longer durations of exposure.
