Abstract:

The qualities of Xinjiang flat peaches treated with 1.0 μl/L 1-MCP, 1.0 μl/L ClO2 and 1.0 μl/L 1-MCP + 1.0 μl/L ClO2 storage were studied during both room temperature (23-25 ℃) and cold (4-5 ℃) storages. The results showed that all treatments were able to decrease the release of ethylene as well as the respiration rate of the peaches. The reductions in firmness and contents of vitamin C and titratable acid were effectively retarded and the incidence of decay was decreased. Among the three treatments, the third one showed significantly higher inhibitory effect than the former two. Combination of low temperature storage and pretreatment with 1.0 μl/L 1-MCP + 1.0 μl/L ClO2 can effectively extend the shelf-life of Xinjiang flat peaches.
