Abstract: In this study, the effects of 1-MCP and its structural analogues (1-PentCP and 1-OCP) on the quality of Hanfu apple during storage at ambient temperature were comparatively studied. The results showed that 1-MCP and its structural analogues could inhibit the respiration intensity and ethylene production rate, decrease the loss of fruit firmness, delay the reduction speed of acidity and inhibit the activities of cellulase and polygalacturonase related to fruit softening. Moreover, no significant difference was found between 1-MCP and its structural analogues.
