The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 1-methylcycloprane (1-MCP) on apple VOC production during postharvest ripening. To dissect the effects of ethylene on the regulation of the general VOC production, two apple cultivars with a distinct ripening behaviour were selected, namely ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’. Apple VOC content, including ethylene, was assessed by PTR-ToF-MS over 3 weeks of storage at room temperature and after 2 months of storage at 2 °C, respectively. The production of VOCs resulted inhibited by the application of 1-MCP in both apple cultivars, while in non-treated apples a correlation with the ripening progression was observed, confirming the chief role of ethylene in the control of VOC synthesis.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 1-methylcycloprane (1-MCP) on apple VOC production during postharvest ripening. To dissect the effects of ethylene on the regulation of the general VOC production, two apple cultivars with a distinct ripening behaviour were selected, namely ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’. Apple VOC content, including ethylene, was assessed by PTR-ToF-MS over 3 weeks of storage at room temperature and after 2 months of storage at 2 °C, respectively. The production of VOCs resulted inhibited by the application of 1-MCP in both apple cultivars, while in non-treated apples a correlation with the ripening progression was observed, confirming the chief role of ethylene in the control of VOC synthesis.
