Postharvest conservation of alstroemeria ‘ajax’ using 1-methylcyclopropene [PDF]
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

The Storage Ability of Broccoli after 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatment
The study evaluated the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on broccoli quality and storage ability. Broccoli ‘Parthenon’ was treated the day after harvest with 1.0 or 3.0 cm3·m−3 1-MCP. The treatment was performed at 5 °C for 20 h, and then

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene on ‘Bosc Kobak’ pears [PDF]
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is the active component of the SmartFresh Quality System. By the application of the 1-MCP compound, quality of the harvested pears can be preserved longer during the normal cold storage.

1-Methylcyclopropene Inhibits Apple Ripening [PDF]
An ethylene action inhibitor, MCP, was applied to preclimacteric and climacteric apple [ Malus sylvestris L. (Mill.) var. domestica Borkh. Mansf.] fruit. Experiments were conducted in North Carolina and Washington State utilizing the following cultivars:

Inhibiting Tomato Ripening with 1-Methylcyclopropene [PDF]
The capacity for 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to inhibit color change and firmness loss and alter aroma profiles for tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit was evaluated as a function of 1-MCP concentration, multiple and continuous applications, and stage of ripeness.

1-Methylcyclopropene delays tomato fruit ripening [PDF]
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruits, cv. Santa Clara, were harvested at the breaker stage from commercial fields in Brazlândia, Brazil, to investigate the ability of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to retard tomato fruit ripening. Fruit without external blemishes were graded for size (diameter = 80±5 mm) and mass (m = 130±10 g), placed inside ...

A Brief History of 1-Methylcyclopropene [PDF]
Research that led to the discovery of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) started with efforts to understand the effects of controlled atmosphere storage and continued with studies that examined the nature of the ethylene binding site. Although some researchers focused on the use of silver ion for inhibiting ethylene action, Sisler and his colleagues focused ...

1-methylcyclopropene optimal concentration and treatment conditions for extending storage life of strawberries [PDF]
Given that strawberries are very short-lived and easily perishable, extending their shelf life would be very cost effective. Strawberries of the Arosa cultivar were treated with various concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene (0.050, 0.100, 0.500 ppm) in ...
