In addition, some reports indicated 1-MCP treatment can
maintain quality and extends storage life in plum (Khan & Singh,
2009), pear (Lu et al., 2009) and peach fruit (Ortiz et al., 2010). In
the present research, we found that 1-MCP-treated fruit kept both
at room temperature and low temperature had higher levels of SSC,
TA and vitamin C (Fig. 2). Fruit softening was delayed (Fig. 2),
indicating 1-MCP treatment is beneficial for maintaining quality of
jujube fruit in postharvest storage.
