Effect of Treatment Time of 1-MCP on Ripening of ‘Fuji’ Apples Stored at Low and Room Temperature for a Long Period

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment at 0, 2, and 4 d after harvest (0 DAH, 2 DAH, and 4 DAH) of apples [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] was evaluated on several fruit quality parameters for 180-d at 0.5°C in the air, followed by 28-d at room temperature. The 1,000 nl l-1 1-MCP treatments were adequate to maintain fruit titratable acidity (TA) and firmness, inhibiting the rates of ethylene production and respiration during the storage of both cold and the room temperatures, regardless of the 1-MCP treatment time.
