Effects Of 1-MCP and Exogenous Ethylene Treatment on Ripening of Tomato ‘Cv. Savior’ Grown in Winter Season
Keywords
Tomato, postharvest ripening, 1-MCP, ethylene, fruit quality
Abstract
The present research work was undertaken to study effects of 1-MCP and exogenous ethylene on changes in fruit quality of heat tolerant tomato culivar during postharvest ripening. ‘Savior’ tomato fruits were harvested at mature green stage and treated with 3 treatments: air exposure (control), treated with 1-MCP at 5ppm, and treated with ethylene at 100 µl/l for 24h at 18C, and stored at 18C and 80% RH. 1-MCP remarkably retarded the changes in color and fruit softening. The acidity of 1-MCP treated fruits was significantly higher than that of the control fruits. On the orther hand, there was no significant difference in color, firmness, total soluble solid content, acidity, and respiration rate between ethylene treated fruits and control ones during postharvest ripening. Application of 1-MCP inhibited the respiration rate of the treated fruits. In summary, this study indicated that 1-MCP delayed fruit ripening process of the ‘Savior’ tomato. Nevertheless, exogenous ethylene of 100 µl/l did not fasten fruit ripening.
