“…The application of 1-MCP delayed softening of 'Gala' apples stored in NA and CA conditions directly after storage and after 7 days of shelf life (Table 3), as has been shown by Lafer (2003) and Argenta et al (2005). Similar effects of 1-MCP delaying fruit softening have been also observed for various apple cultivars: 'McIntosh', 'Delicious', 'Law Rome' (DeEll et al 2005, Watkins et al 2000, 'Empire' (DeEll et al 2002, 2005, Watkins et al 2000, 'Cortland' (DeEll et al 2002, 'Granny Smith' (Zanella 2003), 'Braeburn', 'Elstar' (Lafer 2003) and 'Anna' (Pre-Aymard et al 2003), and for other climacteric fruits: apricots and plums (Dong et al 2002), peaches and nectarines (Liguori et al 2004) and avocado (Jeong et al 2003). Note: see Table 1 Taking into consideration the loss of firmness during storage 'Gala' apples characterized high storability.…”

“…In both storage seasons, after shelf life the positive effect of 1-MCP on TSS was noticed, but only after 180 days the differences were statistically proved. DeEll et al (2002) and Zanella (2003) reported that 1-MCP treatment not influenced TSS in apples. Note: see Table 1 CONCLUSIONS The results of the experiment indicate that the application of controlled atmosphere conditions and 1-MCP treatment are effective in delay of the ripening processes in 'Gala' apples by inhibiting the ethylene production.…”

SummaryThe effect of storage conditions and 1-MCP treatment on ethylene production and quality of 'Gala' apples stored in normal and controlled atmosphere conditions was evaluated during two successive seasons, 2001/2002 and 2002/2003. Apples were harvested in a commercial stage and cooled down to a temperature of 1°C. After that there were treated with 1-MCP in a concentration of 0.625 μl·L -1 for 24 hours. Treated and untreated (control) apples were stored for 120 and 180 days in the cold storage rooms at 2±0.5°C under normal atmosphere (NA) conditions or controlled atmosphere (CA) with 2% O 2 and 2% CO 2 . Directly after storage and after shelf life (additionally 7 days at 18°C) internal ethylene concentration (IEC) and activity of ACC oxidase were determined. The following quality parameters were recorded as well: flesh firmness (FF), total soluble solids (TSS), and titratable acidity (TA).Application of 1-MCP after harvest strongly inhibited ACC oxidase in apples following storage in air or controlled atmosphere for 120 and 180 days. This inhibition was also noted after 7 days of shelf life. There was no reduction in ACC oxidase activity of CA stored apples in comparison to NA stored, but the IEC directly after storage was lower for fruits stored in CA conditions than for fruits stored in NA. Internal ethylene concentration was significantly lower for the 1-MCP treated fruits, both directly after storage in NA or CA and after shelf life. The application of 1-MCP delayed softening and loss of titratable acidity in 'Gala' apples stored in NA and CA conditions. There was no clear effect of 1-MCP treatment on total soluble solids content in stored 'Gala' apples

“…Os efeitos do 1-MCP em manter a firmeza de polpa são observados para diversos frutos, como abacate (FENG et al, 2000;JEONG et al, 2002), abricó , ameixa (ARGENTA et al, 2002a) quivi e c aqui ( ARGENTA et al, 2002b), morango (JIANG et al, 2001) e especialmente maçã (FAN et al, 1999b;FAN e MATTHEIS, 1999;ARGENTA et al, 2000;RUPASINGHE et al, 2000;ARGENTA et al, 2001;FAN e MATTHEIS, 2001;DEELL et al, 2002;PRE-AYMARD et al, 2002). Na literatura, poucos trabalhos puderam ser encontrados sobre o efeito do 1-MCP em pêssegos, porém, Argenta et al (2002a) observaram, após 10 dias de prateleira, que os frutos tratados com 1-MCP apresentaram firmeza de polpa semelhante ou superior aos frutos não tratados, dependendo do estádio de maturação na colheita.…”

RESUMOObjetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito da aplicação pós-colheita de 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP, 625nL.L -1 ) e tempo de resfriamento (Resfriamento Lento (RL) = oito dias; Resfriamento Rápido (RR) = três dias) em maçãs `Gala´ armazenadas por seis meses em armazenamento refrigerado (AR) sobre a perda de suculência, a firmeza de polpa, o conteúdo de pectina solúvel (PS) e a atividade das enzimas pectinametilesterase (PME) e poligalacturonase (PG). A temperatura de armazenamento foi de 0,5°C. Ao final do período em AR e mais sete dias a 20°C, foram avaliados a suculência, a firmeza de polpa, o conteúdo de PS e as atividades da PME e PG. A aplicação de 1-MCP manteve a firmeza mais elevada e não afetou a suculência das maçãs após seis meses em AR; o resfriamento rápido manteve as maçãs mais suculentas e firmes que o resfriamento lento após 7 dias a 20°C. Termos para indexação: Suculência, Malus domestica, qualidade. ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of postharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, 625 nL.L -1 ) and cooling time of 'Gala' apples (slow cooling (SC) for eight days or fast cooling (FC) for three days) on the juiciness loss, flesh firmness, soluble pectin content (SPC) and pectinmethylesterase (PME) and polygalacturonase (PG) activities after 6 months under refrigerated storage (RS). The storage temperature was 0.5°C. At the end of the RS period, and more 7 days at 20°C, the juiciness, flesh firmness, SPC, PME and PG were evaluated. Application of 1-MCP resulted in the highest firmness and it did not affect the juiciness of the apples after 6 months in RS; the fast cooling compared to slow cooling maintained apples juicier and firmer after 7 days at 20°C. INTRODUÇÃOA `Gala´ é uma cultivar de maçã que foi rapidamente aceita na maior parte do mundo, por apresentar frutos com boa coloração e aparência, e polpa crocante e suculenta (DENARDI e CAMILO, 1992). Porém, essas características de crocância e suculência são rapidamente perdidas durante o armazenamento dos frutos.Várias pesquisas têm sido conduzidas visando ao desenvolvimento de técnicas e tratamentos que possam manter a qualidade dos frutos, ampliando a vida pós-colheita desses frutos. Entre essas técnicas, o 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP), que é um composto volátil, vem sendo pesquisado para aplicação em pós-colheita de frutos, hortaliças e flores. Segundo Porat et al. (1999), o 1-MCP prende-se aos receptores celulares do etileno e inibe a ação do etileno endógeno e exógeno. Essa interação entre o 1-MCP e o sítio de ligação do etileno é irreversível, e os frutos tratados com 1-MCP eventualmente recuperam a capacidade de amadurecer,

“…The treated samples for 3 hours at any of the temperatures reduced significantly the incidence of superficial scald sole in "Cortland". The final results indicated very high potential of 1-MCP for keep flesh quality during storage; nevertheless its efficacy could be influenced by temperature and duration as well as by apple cultivar (De Ella et al 2002) [15]. Weight loss comparisons caused by single treatments of 1-MCP and ENA in both of the cultivars during storage time affirmed highest loss in "Wealthy" during the fifth month by ENA presence and lack of 1-MCP, while in the first four months the two cultivars had no significant difference ( Table 2, Table 3).…”

Apple cultivars' storability could be strengthened through known techniques of cold storage, advanced industries of control atmosphere or other routine usages like fruit pre-cooling followed by immersion in CA ++ solution, depending on genetic potential of the plant material. At the end of pomology and cold storage assessments of 93 apple cultivars, two high yielding native "Dirras-e Mashhad" and "Wealthy" were treated by single and combined 1-MCP and ethylene nano-absorbent (ENA) to assess eventual improvements in cold storage span, fruit eating quality and role of cultivar. For this purpose, directs effects and interactions between all sources of variance were studied. Ethylene emission and CO 2 amounts were measured. The results showed that reduced weight loss and flesh firmness, were registered in the treated samples of both cultivars compared with the control. Using of 1-MCP affected significantly (p < 0.05) TSS (Total Soluble Solids), pH and TA (Titratable Acidity). 1-MCP inhibited rise of the fruit pH, decreasing also the level of TA during storage, while using of ethylene nano-absorbent showed no significant effect (p > 0.05) on these characteristics. The native apple "Dirras-e Mashhad" showed higher pH value than "Wealthy" under the combined treatment (ENA+1-MCP). Genetic source revealed significant difference through lower "Wealthy" storability. Ethylene emission increased to 53.64 ppm/Kg·hr after 5 th month, which resulted in significant difference at p > 0.01 level related to the initial value of 3.26 ppm/Kg•hr. The combined treatment (ENA+1-MCP) affected significantly (p < 0.05) most of the fruit characteristics in both of the cultivars. The treatments demonstrated different results by cultivar.
