The Effect Of Hot Water, 1-Mcp, And Lovastatin On Fresh-Cut Apples After Long-Termcontrolled Atmosphere Storage, Mehmet Ali̇ Koyuncu
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This research was carried out over two years to determine the quality changes in fresh-cut apple slices processed after hot water, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), and lovastatin treatments followed by controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. Apples harvested at the optimum stage were immediately transferred to the postharvest laboratory by a refrigerated vehicle. Intact apples were exposed to three treatments: dipping into hot water (50 °C for 60 s), treating with lovastatin (1.25 mmol L-1), and treating with 1-MCP (1 µL L-1). Treated apples and the control group were stored in CA storage (2% O2 + 2% CO2 ) for 10 months. After long-term …
