Effect of 1-Methylcyclopropene on Ethylene Production and Quality of Kiwifruit During Storage

Ma Shu

Abstract

The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on ethylene production, fruit firmness, titratable acid and total soluble solids of kiwifruit cultivar “Qinmei” was studied during storage at room temperature and 0℃. The results showed that the 100 nL·L -1 1-MCP treatment significantly inhibited ethylene (C 2H 4) production, delayed the ethylene peak and slowed down the decrease in the fruit firmness and titratable acid, and total soluble solids in fruit were increased.
