This article presents data on the influence of applied storage technology on the intensity of the respiration process of apples. The process of respiration is an indicator of the intensity of ripening and biodegradation of plastics substances in fruits. The intensity of the respiration process in the fruits treated with the ‘Fitomag’ preparation was significantly slowed down during the storage period, which made it possible to trigger the respiratory peak for a later period compared to the fruits in the control variant. At the time of discharge from storage, the fruits treated with the ‘Fitomag’ preparation were highlighted by freshness, high structotextural firmness and low degree of damage with fungal diseases and physiological disorders.
