<br/><br/> The present work was carried out to study the effect of dipping mature "Anna" apple fruits in different concentrations of calcium chloride solution (0, 2 and 4%) on fruit quality and storability. Fruits storage was performed under 0°c and RH 98%. The obtained results indicated that dipping mature fruits in CaCl2 solution at concentration 4% reduced the fruit weight loss, fruit decay percentage, preserved the highest fruit firmness and increased T.S.S.% to the highest value (13.6%) . Concerning orchard location, fruit harvested from ElKhatatba orchard possessed better fruit quality and storage ability than those obtained from Monofea orchard.
