Calcium and magnesium interactions in browning of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples with bitter pit
TLDR
In this paper, the role of Ca and Mg in the enzymatic browning of "Golden Delicious" apples was explored, and the results indicated that Ca is predominant in the prevention of this disorder, whereas a deficiency of Ca is involved in its induction.About:

Enzymatic browning reactions in apple and apple products
TL;DR: This review examines the parameters of enzymatic browning in apple and apple products that is, phenolic compounds, polyphenoloxidases, and other factors (ascorbic acid and peroxidase) both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Physiological consequences of minimally processed fruits and vegetables
Rosa S. Rolle,Grady W. Chism +1 more
TL;DR: The central roles of membranes and calcium in maintaining quality are discussed and the need to reduce respiration to maintain the “energized state” is discussed.
Role of calcium in prolonging storage life of fruits and vegetables
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Ca infiltration on ascorbic acid content and on ethylene and carbon dioxide evolution in apples is presented, and a conceptual model on how Ca deficiency may lead to physiological disorders in fruits and vegetables is illustrated.

Postharvest Physiology and Quality Maintenance of Sliced Pear and Strawberry Fruits
Joan C. Rosen,Adel A. Kader +1 more
TL;DR: Sliced strawberries (cvs.‘Pajaro’ and 'G-3′) and partially ripe pears (cv. ‘Bartlett’) were dipped in various solutions (citric acid, ascorbic acid, and/or calcium chloride) and stored in air or in controlled atmospheres (CA) for 7 days at 2.5°C followed by one day at 20°C as discussed by the authors.
