Abstract:  The texture-properties of strawberry which treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) of different concentrations were detected during the experiment with the texture analyzer in this paper. The concentrations of 1-MCP were 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.9μl/L. The result showed that the hardness, rigidity1, recoverable work done and mean load of strawberry decreased during fresh- keeping in the control group, but the fracture force 1 and 1st fracture drop off increased during fresh-keeping in the control group. The effects of different concentrations of 1-MCP on hardness, rigidity1 and 1st fracture drop off of strawberry were obvious, but the effects of different concentrations of 1-MCP on the fracture force 1, recoverable work done and mean load of strawberry were not obvious.
