Research Question
How do calcium chloride dip treatments of apples in different concentrations of calcium chloride influence nutritional value and quality of post-harvest Malus domestica (apple)?

Introduction
Fruits and vegetables are essential for health as they are main sources of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers.Consuming fruits and vegetables every day can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and certain type of cancer (World Health Organization, 2014). Because fruits and vegetables have high nutritional value and help reducing diseases, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption becomes a global priority. And as many people become more aware of health benefits of fruits and vegetables, a demand for fresh fruits and vegetables is growing.

However, unlike the growing demand, the global supply of fruits and vegetables is insufficient compare to the needs of the population (Melva R, 2014).
