Abstract

To investigate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on the postharvest quality of cherry tomato at low-temperature, the ‘Fenjiao’ cherry tomato was used as test material in this study. The changes in fruit decay rate, respiratory rate, fruit hardness, soluble solids, vitamin C, organic acids and carotenoid contents of cherry tomato were treated with 0.14 μL/L 1-MCP during storage at low temperature [(8±1) ℃]. The results indicated that 1-MCP treatment significantly reduced the decay rate of cherry tomato during storage, with the efficiency of 47.08%, 35.21% and 30.40%, respectively, on the 8, 12 and 10 days of storage. Compared with control, 1-MCP treatment significantly reduced respiratory rate, retarded the decline of fruit hardness, soluble solids and vitamin C content. It also inhibited the degradation of three organic acids (citric acid, quinic acid and succinic acid), and thus effectively delayed the softening and senescence processes of harvested cherry tomato during storage. Moreover, after 1-MCP treatment, the lycopene content of cherry tomato in the early stage of storage was lower, while the β-carotene and lutein content was higher than that of the control. These results indicated that 1-MCP treatment was beneficial for maintaining the postharvest quality of cherry tomato under low-temperature storage.
