Abstract in brief

  • Apples are rich in micronutrients like iron, zinc, vitamins C and E, and polyphenols, which can help prevent micronutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular issues.
  • The bioactive compounds in apples, along with their health benefits, are affected by postharvest practices, which are important for maintaining apple quality, safety, and nutritional value throughout storage.
  • Improving storage and postharvest techniques can help preserve these beneficial bioactive components, ensuring year-round access to nutritious apples and supporting better health outcomes for consumers.]
