Apple – a Healthy Fruit
September 10th 2009 -
Because in the sense of the country wide health campaign “5 on the day” nutrients valuable by regular fruit portions and above all bioactive substances are supplied to the body completely in such a way. These support the body-own defense system in different metabolic functions and protect the cells before aggressive connections.
Independently of the fruit season it is possible to eat all year round apples from domestic cultivation. By modern storage techniques they are harvest fresh still long time after the harvest until April or May. Experts call this store keeping “Approx.-camps”. “Stands APPROX.” for “controlled atmosphere” (English control LED atmosphere). It guarantees that not only the bearing play, but also the temperature and the air humidity are constantly carefully controlled. By the lowering of the oxygen content and the simultaneous increase of the portion of carbon dioxide in the bearing play the respiration of the fruits is slowed down and the metabolism is lowered.
Thus the breathing cycle of the apple reduces strongly. By this one understands the dismantling from glucose to carbon dioxide, water and energy with the help of the oxygen. In this way 75% of the breathing losses can be avoided. Also after many-month storage times the board apples remain so approximately harvest fresh.
