Abstract

Cell wall constituents and cell wall hydrolase (CWH) enzyme activities play crucial roles in extending the postharvest storability of apples. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has been extensively used to regulate cell wall metabolism of apples during storage. However, the consequences of 1-MCP can differ according to its concentration and the cultivar being treated. In this study, we investigated how 1-MCP concentrations (0.5 and 1.0 µL·L-1) regulate the cell wall components and the activities of CWH in two new apple cultivars, ‘Arisoo’ and ‘Picnic’, during their cold storage. In 1-MCP-treated fruits, uronic acid (UAC) and total sugar contents (TSC) were significantly higher in ‘Arisoo’, but only UAC was significantly higher in ‘Picnic’, when compared with control fruits. 1-MCP significantly inhibited CWH activities in both cultivars. The results observed between 0.5 and 1.0 µL·L-1 did not diverge obviously in ‘Arisoo’, however, 0.5 µL·L-1 generated better results over 1.0 µL·L-1 in ‘Picnic’. Conclusively, the results suggest that it is economically more appropriate to use 0.5 µL·L-1 1-MCP to extend the postharvest storability of apples, especially ‘Arisoo’, because of its ability to delay the solubilization of fruit softening-related cell wall components and to suppress CWH enzyme activities.
