1-Methylcyclopropene: a review

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2003
Since the discovery of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an inhibitor of ethylene action, over 100 studies have examined details of its action, application and effects on ethylene inhibition. This plant growth regulator is a tool that can help scientists make major advances in understanding the role of ethylene in plants.

EFFECT OF 1-METHYLCYCLOPROPENE ON KIWIFRUIT SOFTENING

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
Premature softening induced by ethylene is a serious commercial problem limiting the storage life of kiwifruit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 1-MCP in extending storage and shelf life and preventing postharvest softening of kiwifruit. Exposure to 100 nl l -1 1-MCP at room temperature for 12 h or at low temperature (<

1-Methylcyclopropene retards postharvest softening of plums

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2004
Abstract ‘Fortune’, ‘Angeleno’ and ‘President’ plums were treated with 500 nl l −1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at room temperature for 12 h and at low temperature for 24 h after harvest to evaluate the effectiveness of 1-MCP in extending the shelf life at 20 °C and storage at 0 °C.

Manipulating avocado fruit ripening with 1-methylcyclopropene

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2005
Previous investigations with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruit have focussed mainly on improving storage life by reducing the severity of disorders causing discolouration of the flesh. Development of 1-MCP and ethylene treatments, which also help control the time to reach the eating ripe stage, may confer additional

EFFECTS OF 1-METHYLCYCLOPROPENE ON STONE FRUITS

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an ethylene action inhibitor which prevents plant tissue from perceiving and responding to ethylene. It is generally effective in concentrations of 1 micromolar or less, and can retard many ripening processes that depend on ethylene for their induction.

Copolymers of 1‐methylcyclopropene

Journal of Polymer Science Part A-1: Polymer Chemistry, 1970
Abstract1‐Methylcyclopropene (MCP) copolymerizes rapidly with acrylic and vinyl monomers to form soluble, high molecular weight products containing enchained cyclopropane rings. The high electron availability in the cyclopropene double bond promotes one‐to‐one alternating copolymerization with sulfur dioxide, maleic anhydride, acrylic acid ...

Infrared and Raman spectra of 1-methylcyclopropene

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular Spectroscopy, 1969
Abstract 1-Methyl cyclo propene is unique in that it contains a carbon-carbon double bond in a strained three-membered ring with methyl, methylenic and vinylic protons present. The molecule has C 3 symmetry and possesses 24 fundamental vibrations: 15 a ' + 9 a ″.

1-Methylcyclopropene treatment affects strawberry fruit decay

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2001
Strawberry cv. Everest fruit were treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (I-MCP) at various concentrations from 0 to 1000 nl/l for 2 h at 20 degreesC. They were then kept individually in closed but vented containers for 3 days in the dark at 20 degreesC and 95 - 100% relative humidity. 1-MCP treatment tended to maintain strawberry fruit firmness and colour.

Fruit Packaging with 1-Methylcyclopropene Included in Alpha-Cyclodextrin

2021
In recent years, the demand for high-quality fruit has increased. Consumers prefer to buy fruits and vegetables according to appearance (color), sensory quality (texture and taste), safety, nutritional value, and longer shelf life. During postharvest and transport handling, fruit quality is greatly decreased by ripening, senescence, and decay, which ...
