Ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP/1-Methylcyclopropene supplier
1-MCP(1-methylcyclopropene) can significantly extend the life of fruits, vegetables, flowers 50-200%, save more than 2 times the cost of marketing agricultural products!
At present, the cloth type (paper type, size: 25×20CM/ sheet) suitable for small independent packing boxes has been put on the market, with the large dose A type used in cold storage and containers, comprehensively used in the storage and transportation stage of agricultural products, effectively extend the shelf life of agricultural products.
Agricultural products (including cut flowers, potted plants, fruits, vegetables, and other products) are fresh commodities that have a high water content and are prone to aging and spoilage, so after they are harvested, the loss rate is often 10 to 30 percent or more before they reach consumers. In order to prolong their postharvest life, many efforts have been made and many preservation techniques have been developed, such as cold storage, air-conditioned (CA) storage, preservative treatment and so on. A key measure of postharvest technology is to control the effects of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in agricultural products. Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that promotes maturation. During the aging of plant organs, it will be released from the inside to accelerate the aging speed, which is the endogenous ethylene; In the surrounding environment, there are various sources of ethylene, which have a great impact on the decay of horticultural products, and this is exogenous ethylene. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 30 percent of postharvest losses in flower crops are due to the negative effects of ethylene.
Effect of 1-MCP on fresh flowers and potted flowers
The effect of 1-MCP on fresh flowers and potted plants has been well established and it was first approved for use on floral crops. In general, 1-MCP can prolong the postharvest life of flowers by 40% on average and by 300%. The use of 1-MCP on ethylene sensitive flowers and potted flowers (such as carnations, lilies, stars of the sky, six flowers, orchids, snapdragons, etc.) has a particularly outstanding preservation effect, and also has a certain effect on other flowers.
The flowers of Chinese rose opened well after using 1-MCP. The leaves were kept fresh for a long time, and the shelf life of the treatment was longer than that of the control by L5-30%, and even three times longer in some varieties. After use, carnations can last 1-4 times longer and have large and bright flowers. 1-MCP can inhibit the yellow leaf of six flowers and extend the bottle life by L8%. Asiatic lily vase life increased by 30%, improving the condition of flowers. The postharvest life of the star has been extended by 38%. In general, 1-MCP inhibits ethylene related wilting and opening of flowers before ripening, reduces flower Browning and leaf yellowing, and prevents falling flowers from defoliating.
1-MCP also has a good effect on potted flowers, which can inhibit the negative effects of ethylene and extend the shelf life by 3-4 times. For example, it can extend the flowering time of petunia potted flowers by 2 times, pansy flowers by 2.6 times, carnation flowers by 5 times, and bell flowers by 64%. 1-MCP prevents falling flowers and time sheet bending of Impatiens Ho and New Guinea, increasing shelf life by 3-6 times. It extends the shelf life of galactica by a factor of three, crabgrass by a factor of nine and geranium by a factor of five, and inhibits flower scattering and wilting. It inhibits perforation and blackening of Cyclamen petals and increases shelf life by 130%. 1-MCP also prevented primrose flowers from wilting and extended postharvest life by 167%. It prevents droop in both - magenta varieties.
