Abstract:
... The objective of this research was to determine the nature and extent of CO2 injury in apples treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and stored in controlled atmosphere (CA). ‘McIntosh’ apples were treated immediately after harvest with 0, 60, 300, or 600 nL·L-1 of 1-MCP for 18 to 24 hours at ~20°C, and then placed in CA (3% O2 + 2.5% CCO2 for the first 30 days followed by 3% O2 + 4.5% CO2 ther ...

mechanism of action; 1-methylcyclopropene; diphenylamine; ethylene; apples; texture; total soluble solids; controlled atmosphere storage; modified atmosphere packaging; storage time; pears; ripening; malic acid; cold storage
Abstract:
... 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), also known as SmartFresh™ (0.14%), blocks ethylene action in harvested fruit. 1-MCP’s mode of action is via a preferential attachment to the ethylene receptor, thereby blocking the effects of both endogenous and exogenous ethylene. This study determined the potential of 1-MCP as an alternative to modified atmosphere (MA) and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of apple ...

Abstract:
... The food that we eat is uniform neither in shape or appearance nor in internal composition or content. Since technology became increasingly important, the presence of biological variance in our food became more and more of a nuisance. Techniques and procedures (statistical, technical) were developed. The most widely used are sorting or grading on large-scale operations. Statistical rules were deve ...
