Abstract
o C for a shelf life period. The results show that the effects of 1-MCP on fruit ripening were related to the stage of maturity and storage temperature. The MG stage was the optimal stage for 1-MCP treatment when fruit storage was at 12°C. 1-MCP treatment reduced the lipophilic antioxidant activity (LAA) of the tomato fruit, but the hydrophilic antioxidant activity (HAA) remained similar to that observed at harvest. 1-MCP is a potential tool for extending shelf life, delaying tomato fruit ripening (slowing color development and firmness loss) and enhancing quality of tomatoes.
