Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) on quality and physical characteristics of mango fruits during storage

Abstract

In this paper, mango fruits(cv.Tainong) were used to study the effects of l-MCP on the storage quality and some postharvest physiologies.The results showed that:compared with the control, the decreasing in fruit firmnes were inhibited significantly by the 1-MCP.The changes in contents of TSS and Vc were slowed down dramatically by the 1-MCP, and the SOD activity in the fruits treated with 1-MCP were higher than the control fruits;the accumulations of MDA were significantly inhibited by the 1-MCP.It suggested that treatment with 1-MCP could extend the storage life of mango fruit and improve the storage quality, the concentrations of 1-MCP in 25 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg were better choose.
