Introduction:

1-MCP preservative is the idealest inhibitor for ethylene; it is wildly used as fresh-keeping agent in agriculture industry by growers, packers, and shippers to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables by preventing or delaying the natural ripening process.

It can extend the postharvest storage and shelf life effectively, especially for such fruits, 

vegetables, and flowers which are sensitive to ethylene.

Advantages:

Functions:

Appearance of avocado mesocarp in control, ethylene-treated, and 1-MCP-treated seeded 

avocado fruit cvs Ettinger and Arad and seedless fruit cv. Arad stored for 4 weeks at 5 °C 

followed by 4 d at 20 °C. 1-MCP (150 nl l−1) or ethylene (10 μl l−1) treatments were given for 

18 h at 20 °C prior to storage.

Conclusion:

1-MCP treatment effectively prevented mesocarp discoloration during cold storage and 

subsequentshelf-life in both seeded and seedless fruit (Fig. 2). CI development in control 

avocado fruit has been shown previously to be increased by ethylene exposure prior to 

cold storage (Pesis et al., 2002). 

 Delay of internal discoloration in avocado fruit by 1-MCP treatment has also been reported

(Pesis et al., 2002; Hershkovitz et al., 2005; Woolf et al., 2005).
