1-Mcp Freshening Agent

1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP or MCP) is a newly discovered biotechnological treatment, also named as the ethylene blocking agent (or freshening agent, ethylene inhibitor, plant growth regulator, etc. ), by blocking off the ethylene receptors of the plants, to avoid the attack of ethylene (endogenous or exogenous); Thus preventing the fresh perishable produces (fruits, vegetables, foliages, and flowers) from fast ripening or senescence. It is an ideal product to keep your fuirts, vegetables, flowers in fresh.
Functions:
1. Reduce respiration, delay ripening and senescence.
2. Keep the original flavor for longer time.
3. Increase disease resistance, decrease evaporation, lighten the decay causing by physiological disease and microorganism.
4. Prolong the storage and shelflife.
1-MCP has been successfully tested in a variety of crops. Followings are the lists of which has been applied on commercial scale. New species passing through tests are increasing fast,
Fruits:
Apple, apricot, avocado, banana, blueberry, jujube, custard apple, fig, kiwifruit, litchi, mango, nectarine, papaya, peach, pear, persimmon, plum, tomato, cherry, grapefruit, lime, cantaloupe, orange, pepper, pineapple, strawberry, watermelon.
Vegetables:
Broccoli, carrot, cabbage, mustard, choysum, chrysanthemum, cucumber, coriander, lettuce.
Flowers:
Orchid, rose, tulip, carnation, lily, and >20 other species.
Main Specification of our 1-MCP
Content: 3.5%
Moisture: NMT 10%
Ash: NMT 2%
Solubility: 1g 1-MCP powder is completely soluble in 100g water.
Dosage:
The active ingredient 1-MCP gas in 1g 1-MCP powder can treat 15 cuber meter cold room.
Take apple for example, we estimate that 1 cuber meter space can store 300kg, which means 15 cuber meter can store 4500kg. So 1g 1-MCP powder is enough for the application of 4500kg apple. ( just for reference, in fact, different fruits require different quantity powder)
Methods:
Dissolve 1g 1-MCP powder with 40ml warm water in a cup, put the cup in the room then leave the room and close the door.
The active ingredient 1-MCP gas will be released when dissolve 1-MCP powder in water, thus act on target fruit. The time should be controlled not less than 24 hours.
