“…Compared with the control peach, the application of 1-MCP treatment had insignificant effect (p > 0.05) on the protocatechuic acid. (Faragher and Chalmers, 1977)) showed a relationship between ethylene production, anthocyanidin accumulation and phenylalanine lyase activity in apple fruit. Therefore, it was reasonable to suggest that inhibition of ethylene production by 1-MCP may lead to reduced concentration or interruption of normal metabolism of phenolic compounds in 1-MCP treated fruit.…”
