Fresh-cut kiwifruit is difficult to store due to the characteristics of thin and juicy rind, which results in the great limitation of development and utilization. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) combined with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)...

Fresh cut lily flowers often have a long postharvest life and produce undetectable levels of ethylene. This changes after cold storage, when lilies produce a higher amount of ethylene with a very early leaf and then flower senescence. Such changes to postharvest physiology are likely...

The phytohormone ethylene responds positively to abiotic stress, but its effect on quality deterioration of fresh-cut Chinese water chestnuts (CWCs) caused by mechanical damage remains unclear. Here, the effects of single or combination treatments of ethephon (ET) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)...

The quality of fresh-cut lotus root slices is greatly affected by enzymatic browning. In this study, we investigated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene treatment on browning and quality deterioration of lotus root slices. When fresh-cut lotus root slices were immersed in 0.1 mg L-1 1-MCP for 1 h...
