Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Higher sprayable 1-MCP concentrations controlled apple firmness loss through storage and shelf life.
- Intervention effect Higher sprayable 1-MCP concentrations controlled internal ethylene concentration through storage and shelf life.
- Intervention effect Sprayable 1-MCP above 90 mg a.i./L had similar fruit effects to postharvest 1-MCP.
- Intervention effect In Delicious apples, 1-MCP had little effect on soluble solids, acidity and skin or flesh color.
- Intervention effect In Cameo apples, 1-MCP slightly increased soluble solids and titratable acidity.
- Intervention effect Preharvest AVG controlled IEC almost as well as sprayable or postharvest 1-MCP.
- Intervention effect AVG-treated apples lost substantially more firmness after seven days of ripening after storage.
- Intervention effect Sprayable 1-MCP reduced apple starch hydrolysis.
- Intervention effect Sprayable 1-MCP reduced apple IEC.
- Intervention effect Sprayable 1-MCP reduced apple fruit drop at harvest.
- Recommendation The authors propose sprayable 1-MCP for preharvest management of apple condition and postharvest quality.
