Texture profiling and cortex scanning in ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Granny Smith’. Panel a and b illustrate the combined mechanical (blue line) and acoustic (red line) profile for ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Granny Smith’, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy of the fruit cortex cells, sampled after one week of postharvest shelf-life ripening, is shown for ‘Golden Delicious’ (c) and ‘Granny Smith’ (d). The scale bar is reported on the top of both panels.
