during shelf life by the post-storage ethylene treatment but waseffectively inhibited by the 1-MCP treatment (Fig. 1B). The fleshcolor change index of ‘Aozhou 14’ treated with ethylene increasedrapidly and even reached 78 after 2 days of shelf life, compared tothat of the control only reaching 52. Whereas, the flesh color changeindex of ‘Aozhou 14’ treated with 1-MCP began to increase after 4days but reached near 100 after 5 days of shelf life (Fig. 4C).
