Effects of 1-Methylcyclopropene on Quality of Apples in the Low Temperature Storage Period

Tong Tong

Abstract

This article reviews the effect of the physiological metabolism and the quality of the 1-Methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) in the storage of apples.Dealing with 1-MCP,the intensity of the apple respiration and the ethylene emission can be suppressed by the 1-MCP.What's more,high content of the dissolubility,delaying the drop of the fruit firmness,postpone the activity of the peroxidase and the polyphenol oxidase.In low temperature,the life-span of the apples can be doubled of that in the normal temperature,while along with the 1-MCP,the quality of the apples can be significantly affected.
