Abstract
Banana (Musa paradisiaca L. var. Ambon) is a climacteric fruit known for its high perishability due to rapid ripening mediated by ethylene. Postharvest losses significantly impact marketability, particularly during long-distance transport. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an ethylene action inhibitor that has shown promise in delaying ripening and extending shelf life in various horticultural crops. This study investigated the effects of different concentrations of 1-MCP (0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 g) on the postharvest quality of banana fruits during a 9-day storage period. Key quality parameters evaluated included weight loss, soluble solids concentration (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, and maturity index. Results showed that higher 1-MCP concentrations significantly delayed ripening, reduced weight loss, suppressed SSC and TA accumulation, and maintained lower maturity indices compared to untreated controls. Bananas treated with 0.6 g 1-MCP exhibited the most prolonged retention of quality attributes and slowest ripening progression. These findings support the application of 1-MCP as an effective postharvest treatment to extend the marketable life of bananas during storage and distribution.
