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 ...

Use of 1-Methylcyclopropene to Modulate Banana Ripening

1999
Premature and rapid ripening are two ethylene-related postharvest problems of banana fruit. Ethylene binding inhibitors such as diazocyclopentadiene (DACP) delay fruit ripening, even when applied at late stages [2]. However, constraints prohibit commercial use of DACP [2].

Kinetics of Molecular Encapsulation of 1-Methylcyclopropene into α-Cyclodextrin

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2007
1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an ethylene inhibiting regulator, is commercially available in the form of an inclusion complex with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD). In this study, molecular encapsulation of gaseous 1-MCP into aqueous alpha-CD was investigated in a closed, agitated vessel with a flat gas-liquid interface. Molecular encapsulation of gaseous

1-methylcyclopropene delays softening in tomato slices

, 2003
I-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has the potential in tomato to reduce ethylene-associated changes in texture. Tomato cv. 'Revolution' was harvested at the 'pink' maturity stage and whole fruit treated with 0, 0.1, 1.0 or 10.0 µL.L-' 1-MCP at 20 "C for 12 h.

The use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on fruits and vegetables

Biotechnology Advances, 2006
The recent availability of the inhibitor of ethylene perception, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), has resulted in an explosion of research on its effects on fruits and vegetables, both as a tool to further investigate the role of ethylene in ripening and senescence, and as a commercial technology to improve maintenance of product quality.

Utility of 1-methylcyclopropene as a papaya postharvest treatment

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2007
Abstract The postharvest utility of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for papaya, Carica papaya L. (cvs. Gold and Rainbow) was determined. The effect of fruit maturity, storage, 1-MCP concentration (50–1000 nL L −1 ), 1-MCP treatment duration (4 and 24 h) and ethephon treatment before and after 1-MCP were evaluated.

Effect of 1‐Methylcyclopropene on the Quality of Fresh‐cut Apple Slices

Journal of Food Science, 2003
ABSTRACT: The objective of this project was to treat fresh‐cut apple slices with the ethylene inhibitor 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) to retard ethylene‐induced deterioration and senescence and to prolong the shelf life of such products. Intact Braeburn and Pacific Rose apples were treated at different times with

Encapsulation of the Ethylene Inhibitor 1-Methylcyclopropene by Cucurbit[6]uril

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an excellent safe and commercially available ethylene antagonist for the preservation of horticultural products. However 1-MCP has to be stored in absorbents due to its gaseous and unstable characteristics. In this paper cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) was used as the absorbent to encapsulate 1-MCP, and the resultant inclusion ...

Impact of 1-Methylcyclopropene and Methyl Jasmonate on Apple Volatile Production

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1999
Climacteric Fuji apples were treated with 10 microL x L(-1) MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), 2 mmol x L(-1) MJ (methyl jasmonate), or a combination of 10 microL x L(-1) MCP and 2 mmol x L(-1) MJ. Fruit were kept at 20 degrees C for 15 days after treatment.

Actions and uses of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP).

CABI Reviews, 2006
Abstract A new strategy for controlling ethylene production and thus ethylene-mediated responses during ripening and senescence of fruit, and senescence of ornamental products and vegetative tissues, has emerged with the discovery and commercialization of the inhibitor of ethylene perception, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP).
