Influences of 1-MCP on AC Tomato Fruit Softening

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influences of 1-MCP on AC tomato fruit softening were investigated. Ethylene production, flesh firmness, protopectin content, soluble pectin content and polygalacturonase (PG) activity were used to evaluate the quality of tomato fruit. It was shown that 1.0 and 1.5 μL/L 1-MCP treatment significantly decreased the levels of ethylene production, and inhibited flesh firmness and protopectin content decline and polygalacturonase activity increase. At last, it was concluded 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP treatment on AC tomato fruit was the best determining economy.
