Abstract

The rapid post-harvest ripening processes of climacteric fruits pose challenges for post-harvest quality management and the extension of commercial shelf life. In this study, the effects of the use of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), which delays the effect of ethylene gas on ripening, on the quality parameters of ‘Sel-42’ and ‘Tainung’ papaya varieties grown under greenhouse conditions during cold storage were investigated. For this purpose, the impact of different doses of 1-MCP application on fruit weight loss, flesh firmness, peel color development, and chemical properties was examined during storage. The findings indicate that 1-MCP application at a 25% maturity level could extend the preservation period to 28 days for ‘Sel-42’ and up to 31 days for ‘Tainung’. Furthermore, it was found that 1-MCP treatments positively affected flesh firmness and color transformation, but had no direct effect on chemical properties. The results showed that 1-MCP treatment had a significant effect on increasing storage time and improving the fruit quality of 'Sel-42' and 'Tainung' papaya cultivars and contributed to the development of fruit-specific preservation strategies.

‘Sel-42’ ve ‘Tainung’ papaya çeşitlerinin soğukta muhafazasında meyve kalite parametrelerindeki değişim üzerine 1-metilsiklopropenin (1-MCP) etkisi

Abstract

Klimakterik meyvelerin hasattan sonra hızlı olgunlaşma süreçleri, hasat sonrası kalite yönetimi ve ticari ömrün uzatılması açısından zorluklar oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, etilen gazının olgunlaşma üzerindeki etkisini geciktiren 1-Metilsiklopropen (1-MCP) kullanımının, subtropikal koşullarda örtüaltında yetiştirilen ‘Sel-42’ ve ‘Tainung’ papaya çeşitlerinin soğukta muhafaza sırasında kalite parametreleri üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, farklı dozlarda 1-MCP uygulamasının depolama süresinde meyve ağırlık kaybı, meyve eti sertliği, kabuk renk gelişimi ve kimyasal özellikleri üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, ‘Sel-42’ çeşidinde %25 olgunluk seviyesinde 1-MCP uygulamasının muhafaza süresini 28 güne ve ‘Tainung’ çeşidinde ise 31 güne kadar uzatabildiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca 1-MCP uygulamalarının, meyve eti sertliğini ve renk dönüşümünü olumlu yönde etkilediği, ancak kimyasal özellikler üzerinde doğrudan bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştirAraştırma sonuçları, 1-MCP uygulamasının ‘Sel-42’ ve ‘Tainung’ papaya çeşitlerinin muhafaza süresini ve meyve kalitesini iyileştirme konusunda önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve meyveye özgü muhafaza stratejilerinin geliştirilmesine katkı sağladığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
