Photocontrol of Alcohol, Aldehyde, and Anthocyanin Production in Apple Skin.

Abstract
The time courses of aldehyde, alcohol, and anthocyanin synthesis in light and darkness were measured in apple skins floating on sucrose solutions. Light suppresses aldehyde and alcohol syntheses in a manner equivalent to the suppression of fermentation by O2. The time course of anthocyanin formation indicated that 2 radiation-limited steps are involved in anthocyanin synthesis in apple tissue.
