The gas application at two concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene and MA package were evaluated on nectarine ('Qinglang') stored for 19, 33, 47 and 61 days at 0℃.The results indicated that the treatment of 1-MCP and MA package decreased the activities of PPO and POD,maintained fruit firmness, delayed fruit softening,decreased flesh browning and avoided mealiness.Treatment with 1-MCP significantly inhibited the respiration of fruit, but it had no effect on solube solids content.Read More
