Application of 1-methylcyclopropene reduces wound responses and maintains quality in fresh-cut apple.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment before cutting on respiration rate, ethylene production, electrolyte leakage, firmness, and color in fresh-cut apple fruit. Fresh-cut apple without 1-MCP treatment had a shelf life of 10 days at 2 degrees C and became browning and decay after pro-long storage. However, fresh-cut apple remained f...
متن کاملEffect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on softening of fresh-cut kiwifruit, mango and persimmon slices
Ethylene production is enhanced by wounding during fresh-cut processing and the accumulation of this gas within the packages of fresh-cut ruit can be detrimental to their quality and shelf-life. The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an ethylene action blocker, applied before r after processing, on the quality of fresh-cut kiwifruit, mangoes and persimmons was evaluated during storage at 5...
متن کاملFlesh quality and lycopene stability of fresh-cut watermelon
Red fleshed watermelons are an excellent source of the phytochemical lycopene. However, little is known about the stability of lycopene in cut watermelon. In this study, lycopene stability and other quality factors were evaluated in fresh-cut watermelon. Twenty melons each of a seeded (Summer Flavor 800) and a seedless (Sugar Shack) variety were cut into 5 cm cubes and placed in unvented polyst...
متن کاملThe Role of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in Improving the Postharvest Quality of Some Cut Rose Cultivars
In order to improve the postharvest quality and the export ability of cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cvs. Happy Hour and Bordeaux, the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an ethylene inhibitor, was investigated. 1-MCP was used at 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 g m-3 for 18 h at 8 °C to simulate the transport of flowers. 1-MCP treatment significantly prolonged the vase life and minimized the weight los...
متن کاملControl of ethylene responses in avocado fruit with 1-methylcyclopropene
Mature avocado fruit (Persea americana Mill. cvs ‘Ettinger’, ‘Hass’, ‘Reed’ and ‘Fuerte’), harvested during the commercial harvesting season, were treated with various concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for 24 h at 22°C and after ventilation, were exposed to 300 ml l ethylene for 24 h at 22°C. The fruit were then stored at 22°C in ethylene-free air for ripening assessment. Ethylene ...
