Effectiveness of 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatment on Peach Fruit (Prunus persica L.) for Extending Storage Life

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to maintain better quality of peach during cold storage and to extend the storage time, effects of different dose of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treated of fresh kiwifruit on quality were investigated and the physiochemical attributes were subsequently evaluated during 60 days storage at 0 °C. Results showed that 1-MCP treatment had a high effect on inhibiting the respiratory rate, total soluble solid decrease and maintaining titratable acid content during the end of the storage compared with the non-treated control.Moreover, 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP showed the best effect on maintaining the quality and extending storage life.
