Notes:
: We studied the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), an ethylene inhibitor, on quality of persimmon cv.‘Rojo Brillante.’Two assays were carried out, applying deastringency treatment before or after storage at 15 °C. In both experiments, fruit was treated with 0 (control), 0.5, or 1 μL/L of 1-MCP after harvest. Additionally, the effect of 2 applications of 0.5 μ L/L, one after harvest and the 2nd after a storage period, was evaluated. In all experiments, 1-MCP delayed softening and color evolution of persimmons. Ethanol and acetaldehyde levels in treated fruit were lower than those in control fruit. 1-MCP had no effects on weight loss, °Brix, or ethylene and CO2 production.
