“…Though, it should be mentioned that the most significant degradation of vitamin C was observed for 1-MCP-treated fruit (research year 2012-2013), while in 2013-2014 for fruit kept under cold storage conditions. Similar observations were reported by Moor et al (2007), who pointed out that the 1-MCP influence might be yeardependent where the key driver is average air temperature during vegetation period which greatly influences fruit maturity. Moreover, different fruits display different absorption rate of 1-MCP, which may be attributed to the insoluble dry matter, or due to spatial variation in binding (Nanthachai et al, 2007).…”

“…Moreover, different fruits display different absorption rate of 1-MCP, which may be attributed to the insoluble dry matter, or due to spatial variation in binding (Nanthachai et al, 2007). In the first year of research, the decrease in vitamin C indicated that 1-MCP treatment might even facilitate fruit ripening, while in the second year 1-MCP-treated apple were contained more vitamin C than control samples (Moor et al, 2007). In terms of 0.85 -ULO storage, it was found that degradation of vitamin C appears both aerobic and anaerobic pathways (Mercali et al, 2014), thus explaining why such decline in vitamin C occurs in this type of storage.…”

In this study, we evaluated the influence of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment and ultra-low oxygen (ULO)-controlled atmosphere conditions: 2.0% CO 2 and 1.0% O 2 (ULO1), and 2.5% CO 2 and 1.5% O 2 (ULO2) on the changes in chemical composition in the apples of one of the commercially available and the most consumerpreferred cultivar 'Auksis' during long-term storage. This study was conducted from 2012 to 2014 at the Institute of Horticulture, Latvia University of Agriculture in Dobele. The results of the current research evidence that in many cases the chemical composition of 'Auksis' apples depends on the weather conditions (growing season) and storage technology. In terms of storage technology, a better preservation of soluble solids was achieved when ULO conditions and 1-MCP treatment were applied. Moreover, findings reveal that polyphenols present in 'Auksis' apples remained unchanged after six months' storage under ULO conditions. While due to further ripening process in control and 1-MCP treated apples the content of polyphenols increased. The harvest time is the key factor influencing the total pectin content, while, during six months' storage the main factors affecting the content of pectin were the growing season and storage technology. Analysis of variance showed that the content of vitamin C in 'Auksis' apples depended mainly on the weather conditions, whereas post-harvest vitamin C losses are affected by harvesting time and storage technology.

“…Moreover, the AA content was better retained in 1-MCP-treated apples (cv. Talvenauding) in one experimental year, but not in a second year [97], suggesting that the impact of preharvest factors or harvest maturity on AA content might have a greater influence than any effects on the ethylene inhibitor.…”

The Impact of Harvesting, Storage and Processing Factors on Health-Promoting Phytochemicals in Berries and Fruits

Increasing epidemiological and experimental data now emphasize that a diet rich in vegetables and fruits confers many health benefits. Functional products containing elevated levels of bioactive compounds are attracting considerable attention due to their potential to lower the risk of chronic diseases and their associated huge healthcare costs. On a global scale, there is an increasing demand for berries and fruits, since they are natural polyphenol-rich raw material to be incorporated into functional foods, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. This is a major challenge for both industry and horticultural experts, because the content of health-promoting compounds in plants varies widely not only in different plant species, but also between cultivars. The content is also significantly affected by harvesting, storage and processing factors. This review summarizes the recent data and clarifies the main contributors of harvesting time, various storage conditions and post-harvest procedures, such as temperature management, controlled atmosphere, 1-MCP, calcium and plant activators, as ways to influence health-promoting compounds in fruits. Furthermore, the ways processing factors, e.g., enzymatic treatment, pressing, clarification, temperature, pressure and fermentation, can influence the levels of polyphenols and vitamins in berries and soft fruits will be discussed. Finally, strategies for preventing the decline of health-promoting compounds in

“…Moreover, McArtney et al (2011) reported a significant effect of 1-MCP treatments in terms of reduction of rots caused by phytopathogenic fungi on apple fruits. Also, apple fruit quality was improved by 1-MCP because treated fruits contained more vitamin C, the loss of titrable acids was delayed, soluble solid content (SSC) decreased, and fruit rot consequently decreased 30% (Moor et al 2007). Li et al (2017) found that 1-MCP treatment enhances the oxidative damage of spores and mycelia of P. expansum and destroys the integrity of plasma membrane of spores, and thus inhibits blue mold on apple fruits.…”

Fusarium species are increasingly detected as the causal agents of decay of stored apple fruits. Fusarium avenaceum is particularly significant due to its predominant occurrence among Fusarium species in stored apple fruits and its ability to produce mycotoxins. Treatments with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and different storage conditions affect the aggressiveness of F. avenaceum and development of fungal-caused decay in stored apple fruits. In this study, apple fruits (cv. 'Granny Smith') were treated with 1-MCP, and artificially inoculated with F. avenaceum. The isolate used for inoculation, originating from apple fruit, was identified based on morphological characteristics and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a species-specific primer pair (FA-ITSF and FA-ITSR) for F. avenaceum. After inoculation, treated and untreated fruits were stored at room temperature and cold-stored under dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA). Diameters of necrotic lesions were measured after 7, 14 and 21 days of incubation on fruits stored at room temperature, while necrosis diameters on DCA-stored fruits were measured immediately at the end of storage period (143 days), and after 7, 14 and 21 days of additional incubation at room temperature. The results show that treatment with 1-MCP inhibits the development of F. avenaceum on apple fruits during storage under DCA. However, after storage, i.e. during incubation at room temperature, no significant difference between 1-MCP-treated and untreated fruits was observed. On fruits stored at room temperature only, no difference between 1-MCP-treated and untreated fruits was observed. However, 1-MCP-treated fruits stored at room temperature only developed significantly smaller necrosis lesions compared to 1-MCP-treated and DCA stored fruits. It infers that both 1-MCP treatment and DCA storage inhibit fungal decay caused by F. avenaceum on apple fruits. However, the effects do not persist after storage.
