Abstract

The work aims to clarify the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on postharvest physiology and storage quality of Saiwaihong apples. The postharvest Saiwaihong apples were placed at room temperature (26±1) °C for 0, 3, 6 and 9 d, respectively, and then fumigated with 1-MCP (1.0 μL/L) for 24 h. With the untreated group as control, the sensory indexes, nutritional quality, physiological indexes and physiological metabolism related enzyme activities were measured within 18 d of storage. Different 1-MCP treatment timing could better maintain the storage quality of fruits. The fruits treated within 3 days after harvest maintained good appearance quality and reduced the browning degree of fruit stalk, delaying fruit softening and water loss, maintaining high contents of TSS, TA, VC, total phenols and flavonoids, significantly reducing the ethylene production rate and respiration intensity, and effectively delaying the peak value of SOD activity. The activities of CAT and POD were maintained at a high level, and the activity of PPO was significantly inhibited. Principal component analysis was conducted based on sensory and nutritional indicators, and the results showed that: the comprehensive scores were ranked as 0 d+1-MCP>3 d+1-MCP>6 d+1-MCP>9 d+1-MCP>control. The preservation effect of 1-MCP decreases with the delay of treatment period, and the treatment would still play an effective preservation effect at room temperature for 3 days. Therefore, 1-MCP treatment should be completed within 3 days after harvest, and the treatment on the day of harvest is the best choice.
