In order to maintain better quality of peach during cold storage and to extend the storage time, effects of different dose of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treated of fresh kiwifruit on quality were investigated and the physiochemical attributes were subsequently evaluated during 60 days storage at 0 °C. Results showed that 1-MCP treatment had a high effect on inhibiting the respiratory rate, total soluble solid decrease and maintaining titratable acid content during the end of the storage compared with the non-treated control.Moreover, 1.0 μL/L 1-MCP showed the best effect on maintaining the quality and extending storage life.

Taking ‘HuaGuan’ Rape as material, studied the effect of 1-methylcylopropene treatments on postharvest quality of rape stored under 0 °C. The results indicated that during the storage 1-MCP treatment could inhibit the ethylene production, delay the ethylene peak and the color of rape changed from green to yellow, keep the weight, maintain the good appearance quality of rape.
