Doses Of 1-MCP Research Articles

Comportamento pós-colheita de frutos de feijoa (Acca sellowiana Berg) submetidos a diferentes doses de 1-MCP e temperaturas de conservação

Abstract Feijoa is a promising crop in Colombia with high export potential. However, its postharvest shelf-life is short since it is a climacteric fruit with high respiration rates and susceptibility to fruit flies. Techniques such as refrigeration and the use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) increase the post-harvest period and prolong fruit quality. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of different storage temperatures and 1-MCP doses on postharvest feijoa fruits. A completely randomized design with a 2x4 factorial arrangement was used, where the first factor was temperature (4 and 16 °C), and the second factor was the 1-MCP dose (0, 30, 60 and 90 µg L-1), for a total of eight treatments. The treatments at 4 °C presented lower values for mass loss and respiratory rate, while luminosity, chromaticity, soluble solids and antioxidant activity showed the highest values. The lowest 1-MCP doses at 4 °C had the highest values of titratable acidity and endocarp tone; on the contrary, the highest doses at 4 and 16 °C presented the highest values of phenolic compounds. The refrigerated feijoa fruits had a shelf-life between 36 and 42 days, while those stored at 16 °C only had commercial quality for 14 days, highlighting the importance of cold storage.

The Effect of Different Doses of 1-Methylcyclopropene on Postharvest Physiology and Predicting Ethylene Production through Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines in Cocktail Tomato

Maintaining the postharvest quality of tomatoes, which are essential in the world vegetable trade, is very important; otherwise, storage may cause severe quality and economic losses. This study aimed to determine the effects of 1-MCP treatments on quality and storage time to prevent quality loss and deterioration in tomatoes due to high temperature and to predict ethylene production through the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines algorithm during long-term storage. For this purpose, same-sized fruits were divided into three different groups. Two groups were treated with 1-MCP (625 and 1250 ppb), and the untreated fruit was the control. Then, the tomatoes were stored for 39 days at a temperature of 20 °C and relative humidity of 85–90%. The results obtained from the present study showed that the 1-MCP treatments prolonged the life and maintained the quality of tomato fruit during storage. The ethylene production and respiration rate were significantly lower in 1-MCP-treated fruit than in the untreated fruit during the storage period (p < 0.05). According to the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines algorithm, it was observed that increasing doses of 1-MCP inhibited ethylene production. Furthermore, weight loss and respiratory rate were effective on ethylene production at 100 and 43.9%, respectively. In conclusion, treating the fruit with 1250 ppb of 1-MCP was determined to be the best practice for maintaining all quality criteria during storage.

Effect of Different Doses of 1-MCP on the Storage Performance of Apple cv. Granny Smith

Çalışmada, farklı dozlardaki 1-Metilsiklopropen (1-MCP) uygulamalarının Granny Smith elma çeşidinin soğukta muhafaza ve raf ömrü süresince kalite değişimleri üzerine etkilerinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla ticari derim döneminde toplanan elmalar, 3 farklı dozda 1-MCP (325 ppb, 475 ppb ve 625 ppb) uygulamasına tabi tutulmuştur. Bu dozların etkisini net olarak ortaya koymak için keşfinden bu yana ticari olarak kullanılan ve referans uygulama (RU) olarak adlandırılan 1-MCP (SmartfreshTM) dozu ile kontrol uygulaması denemeye dahil edilmiştir. Uygulamalardan sonra elmalar plastik kasalarda normal atmosferde 0 ± 0.5℃ ve % 90 ± 5 oransal nem koşullarında 6 ay depolanmıştır. Raf ömrü çalışmaları için elmalar soğukta muhafazadan sonra 7 gün 20°C’de % 60 ± 5 oransal nem koşullarında bekletilmiştir. RU ve D3 uygulamaları ağırlık kaybının azaltılması, asitlik kaybının sınırlandırılması ve meyve eti sertliğinin korunmasında benzer sonuçlar vermiştir. Etilen üretiminin azaltılması ve solunum hızının baskılanmasında en etkili uygulamalar RU ve D3 uygulamaları olmuştur. Çalışmada tüm 1-MCP uygulamaları kontrole göre kalite kaybını sınırlandırmıştır. Tüm kalite parametreleri dikkate alındığında aynı dozu içeren D3 ve RU oldukça benzer sonuçlar ortaya çıkarmıştır. En iyi sonuçlar RU ve D3 uygulamalarından elde edilmiş ve bu uygulamalara tabi tutulan elmalar 6 ay+7 gün kaliteli olarak muhafaza edilmiştir. Diğer dozların uygulandığı meyveler 5 ay+7 ve kontrol uygulaması ise 4 ay+7 gün depolanabilmiştir.

Effects of cold storage duration and 1-MCP treatment on ripening and ‘eating window’ of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit

BACKGROUND: It is known that 1-MCP delays softening in kiwifruit. Time to ripen (eating-window) and its variability are considered useful for planning commercial strategies. However, few studies report the firmness and quality changes during long-term cold storage. OBJECTIVES: To study the effects on ripening and sensory attributes of different 1-MCP treatments during long (180 d) and very long-term (≥210 d) cold storage. Then, the optimal 1-MCP dose was applied to determine the time to ripen after cold storage for 30 to 240 d. METHODS: Kiwifruits were treated with 1-MCP: 0.0 (control), 0.5 and 1.0μL L–1. Maturity indices and sensory analysis were achieved after 180 and 210 d of storage at 0 °C. Ethylene production was also measured. Firmness and number of fruits at eating-ripe state (at 20 °C) were monthly determined after 30 to 240 d of cold storage. RESULTS: 1-MCP (1.0μL L–1) delayed kiwifruit softening and prolonged the storage to up 180 d. Longer periods were associated to losses due to over-ripe. Eating windows of 1-MCP-treated fruits were longer than those for untreated fruits. CONCLUSIONS: 1.0μL L–1 1-MCP extends the postharvest life of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit and prolongs the eating window, allowing to plan different commercialization strategies.

Calidad poscosecha de frutos de chayote almacenados a baja temperatura

El chayote nigrum spinosum es uno de los principales genotipos que se comercializan en México, Estados Unidos de América y Canadá, siendo las comunidades latina y asiática sus mayores consumidores. Generalmente los trabajos reportados en esta especie se centran en el genotipo virens levis, pero existe muy poca información del comportamiento poscosecha del genotipo n. spinosum bajo almacenamiento refrigerado. Para ello se cosecharon frutos en madurez hortícola y se almacenaron a temperatura ambiente (20 ±2 °C) y a baja temperatura (10 ±1 °C, 85% HR) durante tres periodos de tiempo (3, 6 y 9 semanas) con y sin la aplicación de 1-metilciclopropeno (0, 500 y 1 000 nL L-1) para reducir el viviparismo. Las variables evaluadas fueron: porcentaje de humedad, acidez titulable, SST (ºBrix), contenido de clorofila a y b y total, contenido de azúcares totales (sacarosa, fructosa y glucosa), pérdida de peso y porcentaje de viviparismo. Los resultados mostraron un contenido promedio de humedad de 94%, con bajo contenido de SST (4.5-5.2%) que permanece sin cambios durante el almacenamiento, un contenido de fructosa y glucosa de 1.07% y 0.89% respectivamente, sin la presencia de sacarosa. Los frutos mantuvieron sus características de apariencia con el almacenamiento refrigerado por 3 semanas, pero a 6 y 9 semanas, fue evidente la deshidratación de espinas, aunque ambas dosis de 1-MCP (500 y 1000 nL L-1) redujeron significativamente el viviparismo, incrementaron la susceptibilidad a la incidencia de hongos principalmente Fusarium sp.

Influence of 1-MCP and modified atmosphere packaging in the quality and preservation of fresh basil

A study was conducted to assess the individual and combined effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and modified atmospheres packaging (MAP) in preserving basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves. Fresh samples were stored at 11°C and 85% RH, by packing them in sealed LDPE bags and in open macro-perforated LDPE bags with and without previous exposition to 1-MCP. Preliminary evaluations were performed to define a suitable 1-MCP dose in solution and exposure time being these, 0.3cm3m−3 and 24h, respectively, and to preconfigure the MAP system with satisfactory gas levels, obtaining steady concentrations inside the packaging of ca. 10.5% of O2 and 4.2% of CO2. The combined treatment of MAP and 1-MCP increased the storage life of the basil leaves up to 18days, compared to 9days in the control samples (stored at 11°C in open bags without 1-MCP exposure), delaying changes in the evaluated quality properties.

The Effects of 1-Methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) and MAP treatments on Quality Parameters of “Hicaz’’ Pomegranate Cultivar

Pomegranate has been recently considered as a significant fruit for human health and demanded year-long apart from two-month standard harvest period. To extend market supply durations over longer periods, various methods and treatments should be applied to pomegranates to preserve quality parameters throughout different storage durations. The present study was conducted at cold storages of ÇOMÜ Agricultural Faculty to investigate the effects of 1-Methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) and MAP (LDPE, 20 mµ) treatments on quality attributes of ‘Hicaz’ pomegranate cultivar. Experimental materials were treated with two different doses (625 and 1250 ppb) of 1-MCP alone and combined with MAP (625 ppb + MAP and 1250 ppb + MAP) and stored at 3 different storage durations (40, 80 and 120 days). All fruits, including control group, were stored at 6.5-7.5°C temperature and 85-90% relative humidity. At the end of each storage period, fruits were subjected to weight loss (%), Total soluble solids (TSS) content (%), titratable total acidity (TTA) (%g), pH, grain color (a value), decay ratio (%) analyses and assessments were performed for these quality and biochemical characteristics. Both Doses of 1-MCP alone and combined with MAP treatments were found to be more efficient in decelerating the adverse effects on rotting, perishes and other quality parameters, however there were not significant differences between two doses of 1-MCP. Therefore, MAP or 625 ppb 1-MCP treatments alone or combined with MAP treatments can be recommended for better preservation of quality parameter throughout the storage of pomegranates.

Postharvest conservation of alstroemeria ‘ajax’ using 1-methylcyclopropene

ABSTRACT Cut flowers deteriorate quickly and require postharvest technologies to increase their durability, which is usually around 8 days. Due to the scarce information related to postharvest physiology of Alstroemeria cut flowers, this study aimed to verify the best dose of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to the postharvest conservation of inflorescences of Alstroemeria cv. Ajax, considering the factors associated with floral senescence and loss of the decorative life. The stems were submitted to four doses of 1-MCP (0; 100; 250; 500 ppb), then placed in containers with distilled water and stored at room temperature (22 ºC). The treatments were performed in triplicate containing three stems per replicate. The evaluations were performed every three days for a total of 12 days of storage. An F test was conducted, and the means were compared by the Tukey test (p≤0.05). Among the applied treatments the dose of 500 ppb of 1-MCP reduces the loss of water of the stems of alstroemerias during the storage period, keeping the petals turgids and the levels of carotenoids and anthocyanins high, however, this was not enough to keep the decorative quality of the flowers, once the 1-MCP did not solve the problems of yellowing of the leaves and floral openning, which are important characteristics for its commercialization.

Effect of different 1-methylcyclopropene doses on the postharvest period of pitahaya fruits (Selenicereus megalanthus Haw.)

Colombia is one of the leading producers of yellow dragon fruit, but exports of this fruit is low when compared to the domestic production because most do not meet the requirements of international markets in terms of quality and preservation. As a result, this study aimed to determine the effect of the application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the preservation and quality of dragon fruit, given that it has been effective in the conservation and postharvest quality of many agricultural species allowing longer life, using a completely randomized experiment design with three treatments: 0, 300 and 600 mg L-1 of 1-MCP, with four replications. The 600 mg L-1 of 1-MCP dose was able to maintain the quality of the dragon fruit longer (28 days after harvest (dah)) because it managed to reduce the respiratory rate. The application of 1-MCP did not affect the firmness, loss of mass, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, or total carotenoids in the fruits. The application of 1-MCP slowed the loss of fruit quality in terms of color because the 600 mg L-1 dose maintained the lightness of the fruits longer, reduced the color changes as expressed in a* and b* values and decreased the chlorophyll degradation.

Uso do 1-MCP e atmosfera modificada na pós-colheita de atemoia ‘Gefner’

The scarcity of technologies related to the post-harvest physiology of this species is one of the barriers to commercialization of atemoya over long distances, aggravated by perishability presented by them. Thus, the objective of this study was to prolong the shelf life of atemoya fruits using 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and modified atmosphere by low-density polyethylene (LDP), associated with refrigeration. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a split-plot, with plots in the four doses of 1-MCP (0, 200, 400 and 600 ?L L-1), and in the 5 subplots evaluation periods after harvest in the range of 5 days, with four replicate. Atemoyas were harvested at physiological maturity then treated with doses of 1-MCP for 8 h at room temperature. Soon after, the fruits were placed in polystyrene trays. Some remained unpacked and others were packed with a plastic film of LDP 16 ?m. The use of modified atmosphere and 1-MCP alone or combined, were effective in delaying the ripening of fruits, allowing the preservation of its chemistry quality. In the fruits treated with 1-MCP was no delay in the accumulation of soluble solids and starch degradation.

Effects of 1-MCP onthe post-harvest quality of the orange cv. Pera stored under refrigeration

The aim of this work was to analyse the effects of 1-MCP upon the post-harvest quality of the orange cv. Pera stored for 45 days at a temperature of 7 oC. The fruit was divided into four treatments, and then submitted to the application of three concentrations of 1-methylciclopropene (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0µL.L-1) for a period of 12 hours.The fruitwas again then stored at a temperature of 7 oC. The rate of respiration was determined, together withcoloration of the epidermis, SS, TA, ratio, vitamin C, total carotenoids, phenolic compounds, total and reducing sugars, weight loss and juice yield. The data were submitted to analysis of variance (F-Test), and the averages were analysed by regression (P≤0.05). According to the results, it could be seen that higher doses of 1-MCP may have caused chemical stress to the orangesunder evaluation, being responsible for the increasein the rate of respiration.Achange in coloration of the epidermis from green to yellow/orange was delayed by the application of 1-MCP; the application of 1-MCP did not cause any alteration to such chemical characteristics as SS, TA, ratio, carotenoids, phenolic compounds or sugars.

Possible chemical mechanism and determination of inhibitory effects of 1-MCP on superficial scald of the Granny Smith apple variety

The effects of postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatments on α-farnesene content, incidence of scald, and ethylene content of the Granny Smith apple were evaluated in this study. Harvested apples were treated with 1-MCP at concentrations of 312.5, 625, and 1250 ppb. The 625 and 1250 ppb doses were found to be the most effective in terms of quality protection during storage. For untreated fruits, symptoms of scald development appeared after 8 weeks in cold storage, whereas 1-MCP doses of 625 and 1250 ppb were effective in decreasing superficial scald in fruit after 24 weeks of cold storage. 1-MCP can inhibit oxidation of α-farnesene, which synthesizes during storage. This induces reactive oxygen species metabolism. 1-MCP introduces competitive behavior by breaking the balance between α-farnesene production and the antioxidative defense system, due to the Schenck ene reaction.

Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and modified atmosphere packaging on postharvest storage quality of nectarine fruit

The goal of this study was to compare the effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), which is commonly used for the storage of nectarine fruit, and treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP: 0.5 or 1μLL−1 for 24h at 0°C), an ethylene inhibitor, on the quality of nectarines cv. ‘Maria Aurelia’. After harvest, nectarine fruits were subjected to 1-MCP or MAP treatments. Following the treatments, the fruits were then kept at 0°C for 40 days and at 20°C for an additional 2 days to simulate its shelf life. Fruit flesh firmness significantly decreased during storage and shelf life, for all treated fruits. Both 1-MCP doses and MAP maintained firmness better than control fruits. Chilling injury (CI) was first observed after 20 days at 0°C+2 days at 20°C and then further increased during cold storage and shelf life period for all treatments. Compared with control fruits, MCP treated or MAP-stored nectarines showed significantly reduced incidence of CI and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin methyl esterase (PEM) activities as well as lower hue angles (h°), total soluble solid (TSS) contents and respiration rates. These results showed that both methods maintained the post-harvest quality of nectarine fruit and provided longer storage and shelf life.

Assessment of the Potential of 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatments to Maintain Fruit Quality of the Common Fig (<i>Ficus carica</i> L. cv. ‘Bursa Siyahi’) during Refrigerated Storage

The fig fruit is a unique, climacteric, highly perishable subject to rapid physiological breakdown. Application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was tested to delay ripening of black fig (Ficus carica L. cv. ‘Bursa Siyahi’) during storage overtwo growing seasons. Fruits were pre-cooled to 1 °C for 6 hours and afterwards treated with 500 or 1000 nl l-1 of 1-MCP for24 hours. Treated fruits were stored for 10 days at 1 °C, 90-95% RH and then evaluated. 1-MCP treatments showed thatethylene production, respiration rate, weight loss and concentrations of glucose, fructose and total soluble solids (TSS) were negatively correlated to the 1-MCP doses during cold storage (with the exception of TSS in the first year of experiment and respiration rate in the second year of the experiment). In contrast, pulp firmness and colour (ho) during cold storage werepositively correlated to the 1-MCP applied doses. Results of this study showed that although 1-methylcyclopropene applications slowed down fruit softening during the 10 days of storage, 1-methylcyclopropene appeared to have a relatively limited effect on slowing ripening of ‘Bursa Siyahi’ figs.

Response of Pink Lady®apples to post-harvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene as a function of applied dose, maturity at harvest, storage time and controlled atmosphere storage

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an inhibitor of ethylene reception used in post-harvest treatments to delay fruit ripening. Several factors affect the efficacy of 1-MCP treatments. The effect of a post-harvest treatment with 1-MCP on the quality of Pink Lady® apples as a function of 1-MCP dose, storage time and maturity at harvest was investigated. 1-MCP treatment was further tested in combination with controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. 1-MCP limited fruit respiration and softening during storage and was more effective on partially matured fruits and at prolonged storage times. The delaying of 1-MCP on the increase of ripening index was greater on matured fruits at prolonged storage times. The combination of 1-MCP and CA treatments positively affected quality indices of mature apples during 6 months of storage and 7 days of commercial life, with 1-MCP being more effective than CA. 1-MCP and CA showed positive combined effects on firmness and ripening index after 6 months of storage, and on firmness and CO₂ production after a further 7 days of commercial life. By knowing fruit maturity at harvest and expected storage time it is possible to choose the most suitable 1-MCP dose to meet the market requirements by applying a simple polynomial model.

1-MCP nos aspectos fisiológicos e na qualidade pós-colheita de maçãs Eva durante o armazenamento refrigerado

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito de doses específicas do composto 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP), após a colheita, nos aspectos fisiológicos e na qualidade físico-química de maçãs Eva durante o armazenamento refrigerado. Após a aplicação dos tratamentos com diferentes doses de 1-MCP (0, 10, 50, 100 e 500mg L-1), os frutos foram armazenados em câmara fria 0,5°C (±0,5) por até 135 dias. O armazenamento refrigerado juntamente com a aplicação de 1-MCP resultou em uma menor produção de etileno, principalmente nos frutos tratados com as doses de 10, 50 e 100mg L-1. O grupo controle perdeu 45% de sua firmeza, enquanto os grupos tratados perderam, em média, 27% de sua firmeza. O parâmetro C de cor identificou frutos com cor mais intensa aos 135 dias de armazenamento e o ângulo Hue mostrou que, quando tratados com as doses de 10 e 50mg L-1, os frutos apresentaram-se mais amarelados, evidenciando melhor ação do 1-MCP em baixas concentrações. Frutos que não foram submetidos aos tratamentos apresentaram maior relação sólidos solúveis e acidez, demonstrando assim maior atividade metabólica.

CFD Modelling of the 3D Spatial and Temporal Distribution of 1-methylcyclopropene in a Fruit Storage Container

In this paper, a direct model based on explicit geometry of stacked products in boxes was developed and used to study the diffusion, convection and adsorption of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) gas in cool stores for apple fruit. The discrete element method was employed to generate random stacking of spherical products in a box. A three-dimensional finite volume-based computational fluid dynamics model was developed, verified and used to study the distribution and partitioning of the 1-MCP gas inside loaded container. The study addressed the gas distribution in a 500 L container with or without air circulation. For each case, 80 kg Jonagold apples at 1 °C and a 1-MCP dose of 1 μL L−1 was used to collect validation data. In the presence of air circulation, diffusion–convection in air and diffusion adsorption in the product was applied. Simulations were performed with an unstructured tetrahedral mesh using the software ANSYS-CFX, a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solver. The case without air circulation was modelled as a diffusion problem in air and diffusion coupled with adsorption inside the product. Convection–diffusion–adsorption model parameters that were previously developed and validated were applied. The estimated equilibrium distribution of the 1-MCP gas equals 11, 34 and 55 % as unbounded in fruit, bonded in fruit and remaining in container, respectively. Profiles of free (unbounded) and adsorbed (bounded) 1-MCP concentrations inside fruit were estimated for reduced dosages: 0.5, 0.3, 0.1 and 0.02 μL L−1.

Qualidade pós-colheita de quivi 'Hayward' tratado com 1-MCP e armazenado sob diferentes atmosferas

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito do 1-MCP sobre o amadurecimento e a qualidade pós-colheita de quivi 'Hayward' armazenado sob diferentes atmosferas. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, com frutos colhidos em pomar comercial localizado em Fraiburgo-SC. No experimento 1, os frutos foram tratados com três doses de 1-MCP (0,0; 0,5 ou 1,0 µL L-1) e armazenados sob atmosfera controlada (AC, contendo 2,0kPa de O2 + 4,5kPa de CO2, a 0ºC ± 0,5ºC, 92 ± 3% UR, e com <40 ηL L-1 de etileno no ambiente), durante 90 e 120 dias, mais sete dias de vida de prateleira a 23ºC. No experimento 2, os frutos foram tratados com 0,0 ou 0,7 µL L-1 de 1-MCP e armazenados sob atmosfera ambiente (AA, contendo 21 kPa de O2 + 0,03 kPa de CO2, a 0 ± 0,5ºC, 90 ± 3% UR, e com 200 a 250 ηL L-1 de etileno no ambiente, durante 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias, mais um e sete dias de vida de prateleira a 23ºC) ou AC (contendo 2,0 kPa de O2 + 4,5 kPa de CO2, a 0ºC ± 0,5ºC, 92 ± 3% UR, e com <40 ηL L-1 de etileno no ambiente, durante 60, 90, 120 e 150 dias, mais um e sete dias de vida de prateleira a 23ºC). Os benefícios do tratamento com 1-MCP sobre a conservação da qualidade foram observados tanto para frutos armazenados sob AA quanto sob AC. No experimento 1, não houve diferença entre as doses de 1-MCP de 0,5 e 1,0 µL L-1 sobre o controle do amadurecimento e manutenção da qualidade dos frutos armazenados em AC. No experimento 2, o tratamento com 1-MCP retardou o aumento na taxa de produção de etileno após remoção de câmara fria. A redução da taxa de produção de etileno nos frutos tratados com 1-MCP foi associada ao aumento na conservação da firmeza da polpa sob AC e AA, e redução na incidência de pericarpo translúcido sob AA. O potencial de armazenamento foi aumentado pelo tratamento com 1-MCP em aproximadamente 60 e 30 dias, nos frutos armazenados sob AA e AC, respectivamente.
