Abstract: The research determined the effectiveness of preharvest 1-methylcyclopene (1-MCP ) on superficial scald and the related antioxidants content and antioxidant enzymes activity for ‘Bartlett’ pear during shelf shelf. The results showed that the 1-MCP applied 15d before optimal harvest decreased the superficial scald , retarded the time of superficial scald occurrence,and extended the air storage about 1 month. The respiration rate and ethylene production rate were significantly inhibited,as well as the α-farnesene and conjugated trienols(CTols) in pear peel, and the occurrence of the highest of ethylene production rate was retarded by 1-MCP. Meanwhile, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)-radical scavenging activity, anthocyanin, total flavonoid and total polyphenols content were increased in pear fruit treated by 1-MCP. And 1-MCP treatment inhibited the loss of ascorbate peroxidase(APX)and catalase (CAT)activity, improved peroxidase (POD) activity, and reduced the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) content.
