TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for commercial application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to maintain quality of apples under air and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage conditions was investigated.
439 citations
TL;DR: The physical qualities and antioxidant components of "Jewel" strawberry fruit stored in 75, 85 or 95% relative humidity (RH) at 0.5, 10 and 20°C for 4 days were studied as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The physical qualities, antioxidant content and activity, and antiproliferation activity of ‘Jewel’ strawberry fruit that were harvested at the white tip and red ripe maturity stages and stored in 65 or 95% relative humidity (RH) at 3 and 10°C for 12-d were studied as mentioned in this paper.
168 citations
TL;DR: The results indicate that, depending on cultivar, the importance of minimizing the treatment delay increases as storage periods increase, and major interactions among cultivars, handling protocols before 1-MCP treatment, storage type and length of storage were observed.
Abstract: The effects of temperature during 1-MCP treatment, and the effects of delays of up to 8 d after harvest before treatment, have been investigated using 'Cortland', 'Delicious', 'Jonagold', and 'Empire' (normal and late harvest) apple ((Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.) cultivars stored in air for 2 and 4 months and in controlled at- mosphere (CA) storage for 4 and 8 months. Fruit were treated with 1 µL·L -1 1-MCP for 24 hours on the day of harvest (warm) or after 1, 2,3,4, 6, or 8 days at cold storage temperatures. CA storage was established by day 10. Little effect of temperature during treatment (warm fruit on the day of harvest compared with cold fruit after 24 hours of cooling) was detected. Major interactions among cultivars, handling protocols before 1-MCP treatment, storage type and length of storage were observed. Delays of up to 8 days before 1-MCP treatment either did not affect effi cacy of treatment, or markedly reduced it, depending on cultivar, storage type and length of storage. The results indicate that, depending on cultivar, the importance of minimizing the treatment delay increases as storage periods increase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of low and high temperature storage regimes (0 or 0.5°C and 2.2, 2.8 or 3°C, respectively), diphenylamine (DPA) treatment, and delays at 10 or 20°C before storage, were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an inhibitor of ethylene action is presented, which is a tool that can help scientists make major advances in understanding the role of the chemical in plants.
1,118 citations
TL;DR: The recent availability of the inhibitor of ethylene perception, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), has resulted in an explosion of research on its effects on fruits and vegetables, both as a tool to further investigate the role of Ethylene in ripening and senescence, and as a commercial technology to improve maintenance of product quality.
818 citations
TL;DR: Several of the most commonly used methods for in vitro determination of antioxidant capacity are reviewed and the advantages and shortcomings of each method are highlighted.
666 citations
TL;DR: The economic well being of the apple industry has been improved through development of products and/or technologies that allow new markets to be exploited, through increases in efficiency, and through the reduction in losses associated with the need to store products as discussed by the authors.
