The work aims to study the effects of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and ethylene absorbents (EA) on the postharvest storage quality of Prunus armeniaca L.. Prunus armeniaca L. was used as the test material and untreated one was used as the control (CK). The effects of 1-MCP, EA and 1-MCP+EA treatments on the odor, taste, soluble solid, titrable acid, color, hardness, respiratory intensity, ethylene release, relative conductivity, weight loss, ascorbic acid and total phenol contents of Prunus armeniaca L. during cold storage (0 ℃±0.5 ℃, relative humidity 80%-90%) were studied. Compared with 1-MCP and EA alone, 1-MCP+EA treatment could effectively delay the decline of fruit hardness, ascorbic acid and total phenol content, as well as the accumulation and transformation of soluble solid and titrable acid, inhibit the increase of respiratory intensity, ethylene release and weight loss rate, and significantly delay the odor and taste deterioration after 21-35 days of cold storage. 1-MCP+EA treatment has an outstanding effect on postharcrop preservation, which can effectively maintain fruit flavor and quality, and has a broad market application prospect in fruit preservation.
