“…Also 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a synthetic cyclopropene, has been found to inhibit the action of ethylene in various plant tissues (Sisler & Serek 1997). 1-MCP has been shown to delay ripening of climacteric fruits including banana (Jiang et al 1999), avocado (Jeong et al 2003), plums (Abdi et al 1998, Menniti et al 2004, apricots (Dong et al 2002), peaches and nectarines (Fan et al 2002, Liguori et al 2004, pears (Lafer 2005, Trinchero et al 2004, and apples (Fan et al 1999, Pre-Aymard et al 2003, Watkins et al 2000. For apples, treatment with 1-MCP delays the onset of the rise in ethylene production and respiration, slows the loss of firmness, titratable acidity, and green peel colour, can inhibit aroma production and reduce the incidence of the storage disorders and decay (Fan et al 1999, Lafer 2003, Saftner et al 2003, Watkins et al 2000, Xuan & Streif 2005, Zanella 2003.…”

SummaryThe effect of storage conditions and 1-MCP treatment on ethylene production and quality of 'Gala' apples stored in normal and controlled atmosphere conditions was evaluated during two successive seasons, 2001/2002 and 2002/2003. Apples were harvested in a commercial stage and cooled down to a temperature of 1°C. After that there were treated with 1-MCP in a concentration of 0.625 μl·L -1 for 24 hours. Treated and untreated (control) apples were stored for 120 and 180 days in the cold storage rooms at 2±0.5°C under normal atmosphere (NA) conditions or controlled atmosphere (CA) with 2% O 2 and 2% CO 2 . Directly after storage and after shelf life (additionally 7 days at 18°C) internal ethylene concentration (IEC) and activity of ACC oxidase were determined. The following quality parameters were recorded as well: flesh firmness (FF), total soluble solids (TSS), and titratable acidity (TA).Application of 1-MCP after harvest strongly inhibited ACC oxidase in apples following storage in air or controlled atmosphere for 120 and 180 days. This inhibition was also noted after 7 days of shelf life. There was no reduction in ACC oxidase activity of CA stored apples in comparison to NA stored, but the IEC directly after storage was lower for fruits stored in CA conditions than for fruits stored in NA. Internal ethylene concentration was significantly lower for the 1-MCP treated fruits, both directly after storage in NA or CA and after shelf life. The application of 1-MCP delayed softening and loss of titratable acidity in 'Gala' apples stored in NA and CA conditions. There was no clear effect of 1-MCP treatment on total soluble solids content in stored 'Gala' apples

“…Alguns autores observam atraso na perda de consistência da polpa em ameixas tratadas com 1-MCP (Menniti et al, 2004;Alves et al, 2010), concordando com os resultados obtidos neste trabalho. Khan & Singh (2007) verificaram correlação negativa entre aumento na atividade de enzimas envolvidas na síntese de etileno e a perda de resistência dos tecidos da casca e polpa, em ameixas, sugerindo que o aumento da produção de etileno é necessário para a ativação de enzimas hidrolíticas de parede celular.…”

Ripening and quality of 'Laetitia' plums treated with salicylic acid and 1-methylcyclopropeneThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid (SA), alone and combined with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), on ripening and quality of 'Laetitia' plums under cold storage (40 days at 1 ± 0.1 °C / RH 94 ± 2%). The treatments were: control; 1 mM of AS; 5 mM of AS; 10 mM of AS; and 5 mM of AS + 1-MCP (1 µL L -1 ). Fruit treated with 10 mM of AS showed higher ethylene production rate and higher incidence of skin black spots at removal from cold storage, and higher flesh browning after three days at ambient condition. In fruit treated with 5 mM of AS, the treatment with 1-MCP reduced the rate of ethylene production and reduced the incidence of flesh browning, increased the texture attributes, and reduced the skin red color. AS has no effect on flesh browning incidence and ripening of 'Laetitia' plums and increases the incidence of skin black spots at doses above 5 mM. In fruit treated with 5 mM of AS, the treatment with 1-MCP delays ripening and maintains the quality of 'Laetitia' plums.

“…Por último, la ciruela variedad Horvin presenta tamaño y peso menores que otras variedades al momento de la cosecha, lo que explica porque presenta mayores valores de firmeza y de intensidad respiratoria, como se puede verificar al comparar estos parámetros con las variedades Gulfruby, Beauty, Shiro y Rubyred (Abdi et al, 1997), Laetitia (Argenta et al, 2003), President (Valero et al, 2003;Menniti et al, 2004).…”

RESUMEN: El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar algunas propiedades físicas y fisiológicas de la ciruela variedad Horvin, durante el periodo precosecha, cuyo conocimiento es indispensable para la determinación del momento oportuno de recolección, lo cual permitirá reducir las pérdidas que se presentan de este producto durante la cosecha, debido a su deficiente manejo. El estudio permitió determinar que la ciruela variedad Horvin debe recolectarse 99 días después de la floración, en cuyo momento presentó valores medios de firmeza de 50,66 N, acidez HARVEST INDEX DETERMINATION OF PLUMS cv. HORVINABSTRACT: This research was carried out to determine some physical and physiological properties of plum (Prunus domestic L.) cv. Horvin, during the pre-harvests period, whose knowledge is indispensable to determine the appropriate harvest time, which will allow reducing the losses of this product during the harvest, due to his deficient handling. The study allowed determining that the plum cv. Horvin must be harvest 99 days after flowering. El sector agrícola colombiano afronta una serie de desafíos como consecuencia de su incorporación a la economía mundial de mercados, la cual exige productos y servicios de alta calidad, con valor agregado, mayor nivel de complejidad tecnológica y empleo de tecnologías limpias en su proceso de producción. Así, surge el reto de buscar sistemas diversificados y sostenibles que generen una mayor productividad, basada en la utilización de los recursos propios y tecnologías apropiadas, que sin afectar negativamente los ecosistemas permitan satisfacer las necesidades de una población en aumento.El municipio de Nuevo Colón (Boyacá), ubicado en la Región Andina Colombiana, está conformado por 16 veredas, en las que predomina la vocación agrícola (predios de minifundio). Según el Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural (2006), para el año 2005 existían 2165 ha dedicadas a frutales caducifolios, de los cuales la ciruela ocupa el segundo lugar en importancia, con un área cultivada de 500 ha y rendimientos de 3,0 a 4,5 Mg ha -1 . Las tecnologías de manejo cosecha y poscosecha utilizadas por los fruticultores de Nuevo Colón, presentan una serie de inconvenientes tales como deficiencias en los sistemas de recolección, equipos y herramientas inadecuados para la recolección y el manejo poscosecha, condiciones de almacenamiento deficientes, lo cual origina una pérdida en la calidad y cantidad del producto, disminuyendo el grado de competitividad en los mercados y afectando social y económicamente el nivel de vida de los productores, al ver disminuidos sus ingresos al comercializar los productos.Brady y O'Connel (1976) reportan que las frutas inician una serie de cambios una vez son cosechadas, debido a la actividad enzimática y síntesis de proteínas, que en el caso de productos climatéricos afecta directamente el proceso de maduración. El cosechar tempranamente leva a una pérdida significativa en el rendimiento, pues en los últimos días de desarrollo la ciruela crece rápidamente hasta ...
