Abstract
Abstract
Musa acuminata Colla ‘Muli’ is one of the most popular banana variety in Indonesia. As a commodity that is consumed fresh, is important to regulate the ethylene production of climacteric fruit in order to extend the shelf life and reduce deterioration. 1-MCP (1-Methylcycloprophene) is a potential chemical that can effectively regulate ethylene production in Muli bananas. In this study, 1-MCP in different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 µL L-1) were applied at two maturation stages to observe the effects. Lower 1-MCP concentration was effective in delaying fruit ripening on mature green stage shown by fruit firmness maintenance and improved shelf life up to 4.5 days longer than control. The application of 1-MCP was effective in delaying fruit ripening if applied prior to climacteric stage.
