“…Hue angle values declined in control fruits, while significant delays were observed in tomatoes treated with 1‐MCP and 1‐MCP + MAP. This result supports the findings of Fernandez‐Trujillo and Sanchez (2003), Moretti et al . (2005) and Guillen et al .…”

“…2007), MAP (Nakhasi et al . 1991; Batu and Thompson 1998; Ait‐Oubahou 1999) and 1‐MCP plus MAP combination (Fernandez‐Trujillo and Sanchez 2003) were significantly effective to delay fruit softening in tomatoes. Furthermore, 1‐MCP plus MAP combination significantly decreased the fruit softening in other climacterics such as banana (Jiang et al .…”

The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), modified atmosphere packaging (Xtend, StePac L.A. Ltd., Tefen, Israel) and their combination were investigated on storage and quality maintenance of tomatoes cv. "Perla" harvested at two maturity stages. 1-MCP treatment was performed in 1,000 nL/L doses for 24 h while untreated fruits were considered as control.Fruits were stored at 12C with 90% relative humidity for 21 days. Weight loss, skin color, elasticity, lycopene, ascorbic acid, soluble solid content (SSC),titratable acidity (TA) and SSC/TA were evaluated with the intervals of 7 days. MAP with and without 1-MCP reduced weight loss and maintained to elasticity compared with control and 1-MCP alone.Nevertheless,1-MCP or its combination with MAP significantly delayed changes in parameters related to fruit ripening, such as skin color,lycopene,TA and SSC/TA increase in both ripening stages.Overall results indicated that the combination of 1,000 nL/L 1-MCP and modified atmosphere package was the most effective treatment in both ripening stages. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSTomato is a climacteric fruit and its ripening depends on ethylene production physiology. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) prevents ethylene action by blocking ethylene receptors and extends the storage life of tomatoes. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of fresh fruits and vegetables refers to the still evolving technique of matching the respiration of the product with the O2 and CO2 permeability of packages in order to modify the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations of the atmosphere to desired levels within the package. Recent studies revealed that combined applications of 1-MCP and MAP have significant effects on maintaining storage quality of banana, litchi and plums. This study was conducted on the investigation of the effects of 1-MCP and MAP combination on storage duration and quality of tomatoes harvested at different maturity stages.

“…In this study, hue angle values of both mature green and pink fruits reduced during storage, while especially higher doses of 1‐MCP had a significant effect on delaying the decline in hue angle. Previous studies revealed that 1‐MCP was a significantly effective agent in delaying the color change 13, 18, 26. In our study, lycopene accumulation and chlorophyll degradation was also affected by 1‐MCP treatments, in which the highest concentration was the most effective at delaying these changes.…”

“…Recently, it has been shown that tomatoes treated with 1‐MCP at early ripening stages had a longer storage life with higher quality properties than those of advanced ripening stages 16, 17. A wide range of 1‐MCP doses have been studied,13, 15, 18 although the recommended concentration to achieve maximum efficiency varied among the studies.…”

“…Thereafter, the rate of increase of ripening index (TSS/TA) was less in 1‐MCP treatments than in control. The lower ripening index in 1‐MCP treatments might be due to delayed ripening of fruits and retarded the acid conversion into sugars resulting in lower ripening index (Fernandez‐Trujillo and Sanchez ).…”

The present study was conducted on fresh tomatoes (cv. Punjab Ratta) of mature green to breaker stage treated with 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP) at different concentrations to find out its efficacy on storage behavior at 13 ± 2C and relative humidity (RH) of 85-90%. Data from this study suggested that 1-MCP had no effect on the TSS content of the fruits during the period of storage. Fruits treated with 1-MCP at 180 mg/10 L recorded the lowest physiological loss in weight throughout the storage period compared to control. At 26 days after treatment, fruits treated with 1-MCP at 120 mg/10 L recorded the significant lowest decay (9.87%) over control (35.65%). Studies on titratable acidity (TA) revealed that fruits treated with 1-MCP at 180 mg/10 L recorded a higher TA up to 11 days after storage and at 1-MCP at 120 mg/10 L maintained higher TSS from 16 to 21 days after treatment. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONSConsidering the postharvest behavior of tomato being a climacteric fruit, it is essential to control the ethylene production to maintain the fruit quality during storage. 1-methylcyclopropene is a potent inhibitor of ethylene action and has been used for extending the shelf life and maintaining the quality of fresh products. Aqueous application of 1-MCP is easy, quick and effective method to extend the shelf life and preserve the quality of tomatoes compared to gaseous application.
