## Abstract Apples which were stored in air of different relative humidities had different rates of water loss from the fruit but the water content of the fruit remained the same. It is suggested that water lost by evaporation is partly replaced by the water liberated from increased esterification

โฆ Synopsis
A study was made of the effect of different rates of water loss on the loss of volatiles from Jonathan apples stored at 3 0 " ~. The rates of loss of n-butanol, iso-amyl alcohol and n-hexanol decreased with increasing rates of water loss while the corresponding acetate esters increased. The water loss was considered to be enhancing the production of acetate esters as well as providing a 'carrier' for their removal from the fruit.

Increased sound transmission through several wall specimens as a result of interaction with the specimen mounting frame is described. The effect of the frame is reduced by shielding it from the sound fields.
