1-MCP Theme
What is 1-MCP?
1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) is a synthetic compound that is commonly used as a plant growth regulator and a postharvest tool to extend the shelf life of fruits,vegetables and flowers.
When applied to crops, 1-MCP binds irreversibly to ethylene receptors, preventing ethylene from binding to them and triggering the natural ripening and senescence processes. This results in delayed ripening, reduced decay, and improved quality of the produce.

1-MCP Application
1-MCP is typically applied to fruits,vegetables and flowers in the postharvest stage, either through direct injection into the storage environment or by using specialized equipment that releases the compound into the storage area.
1-MCP is often used in conjunction with other postharvest treatments, such as refrigeration and modified atmosphere packaging, to further extend the shelf life of the produce.
1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), as a tool to further investigate the role of ethylene in ripening and senescence, and as a commercial technology to improve maintenance of product quality, is widely used in the world.

The Use Of PlanFresh™ 1-MCP
Chesen BioChem PlanFresh™ 1-MCP is a sugar-based formulation. Above all, active ingredient of the formulation is 1-MCP gas. The gas will release in cold rooms when it encounters enough moisture. After that, it interacts with ethylene receptors. Therefore it inhibit ethylene on the fruits, consequently keep fruits freshness.
1-MCP For apple
Apple can be kept fresh for about 8-12 months after being treated with 1-MCP powder in cold storage.
1-MCP for kiwi
Postharvest Application of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) Extends Shelf Life of Kiwifruit.
1-MCP for avocado
1-MCP application is a powerful tool to reduce physiological disorders in avocado.
1-MCP for pepper
1-MCP
1-MCP for broccoli
Treating broccoli with 1-MCP can reduce respiration and ethylene production,significantly extend shelf life, reduce postharvest deterioration, and delay chlorophyll degradation.
Product Quality Of PlanFresh™ 1-MCP
Chesen BioChem is the rare Chinese exporter, who implement GC-MS measurement to test 1-MCP quality of each batch. Note: most importantly, we test each lot of 1-MCP Chesen produced, so we are sure all of 1-MCP on the customers’hands are good enough.
