Abstract

Fragrant pear(Pyrus sinkiangensis Yu) was used to investigate the effects of 1-MCP(1-methylcyclopropene) postharvest treatment and MA storage on respiration,ethylene production,soluble solide content,firmness,and hue-angle of pear fruit during storage.The results indicated that 1-MCP and MA storage fruit decreased the respiration rate,inhibited ethylene production and delayed the peak of ethylene production.The 1-MCP-treated fruit had higher SSC and inhitited decrease of fruit firmness,1-MCP prevented the decline of fruit coat during storage or shelf condition,maintained fruit quality.
