Journal Title: Horticultural Studies - Year 2017, Vol 34, Issue 1

Abstract

In this study, performance of modified atmosphere storage packaging (MAP), 1-MCP and MAP+1-MCP applications on the Bacon avocado variety was determined. The fruits which are applied 1-MCP and/or placed in modified atmosphere bags were stored at 6ºC and 90-95% relative humidity for 3 months in cold stores and were analyzed every month. The weight loss, fruit flesh firmness, titratable acid content, pH, total soluble solid content, fruit skin and flesh color, incidence of physiological disorders and fungal decay and appearance were determined during storage. According to the results, modified atmosphere storage and 1-MCP application were found to be advisable.
