Descrição: The effect of the new anti-ethylene compound 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in combination with polyethylene bags on the ripening of harvested banana fruit was investigated. 1-MCP treatment delayed peel colour change and fruit softening, and extended shelf life in association with suppression of respiration and C 2H 4 evolution. Banana fruit ripening was delayed when exposed to 0.01–1.0 μl 1-MCP/l for 24 h, and increasing concentrations of 1-MCP were generally more effective for longer periods of time. Similar results were obtained with fruit sealed in polyethylene bags (0.03 mm thick) containing 1-MCP at various concentrations, but longer delays in ripening were achieved. The greatest longevity of about 58 days was realised by packing fruit in sealed polyethylene bags with 1-MCP at either of 0.5 or 1.0 μl/l. Analyses of C 2H 4 and CO 2 concentrations within polyethylene bags confirmed that 1-MCP suppressed both C 2H 4 evolution and respiration. Thus, application of 1-MCP in combination with the use of polyethylene bags can greatly extend the postharvest life of banana fruit.
