“…After 60 days of CA storage, high titratable acidity values were observed, but no significant differences were observed between control and 1-MCP treated fruits according with the results of Dong et al (2002) and Trinchero et al (2004) in apples and pears. In contrast, titratable acidity loss was significantly delayed or maintained by 1-MCP in plums (Fan, Blankenship & Mattheis, 1999).…”

After treatment samples were stored in air at 0°C for 35 days and in Controlled Atmosphere (3 kPa O2 + 11 kPa CO2) for 60 days. Quality parameters were monitored (weight loss, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity, firmness, anthocyanin contents, phenolic contents, total antioxidant capacity). Blueberries treated with 1-MCP showed a reduced weigth loss during storage and a lower total soluble solid content compared to untreated fruit. High titratable acidity values were observed after Controlled Atmosphere storage, but no significant effect of 1-MCP on this parameter was observed. 1-MCP had no significant effect on anthocyanin, phenolic and antioxidant activities.

“…IEC was significantly lower for the 1-MCP treated fruits, both directly after storage and after shelf life than for untreated ones. 1-MCP, an inhibitor of ethylene perception, binds irreversibly to the ethylenebinding protein (Sisler & Serek 1997), which results in inhibition of ethylene production in climacteric fruits (Dong et al 2002, Pre-Aymard et al 2003, Tian et al 2002, Trinchero et al 2004, Xuan & Streif 2005. The storage conditions affected the ethylene concentration in apples as well.…”

“…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

“…In pear fruit, 1-MCP treatment has been reported to decrease softening, colour development, respiration rates, and ethylene production (BARITELLE et al, 2001;ARGENTA et al, 2003;HIWASA et al, 2003;CALVO & SOZZI, 2004;TRINCHERO et al, 2004;MWANIKI et al, 2005).…”

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is the active component of the SmartFresh Quality System. By the application of the 1-MCP compound, quality of the harvested pears can be preserved longer during the normal cold storage. In our work, the effectiveness of the SmartFresh Quality System was investigated on 'Bosc Kobak' pears (Pyruscommunis L.) harvested at different times. The rheological changes and storage losses were measured. The effectiveness of 1-MCP depends on many variables, but our results show that the optimal harvest date and the condition of the harvested fruit are the most infl uential factors.
