1-mcp for fruit Fresh Keeping Agent,1-methylcyclopropene

1-MCP is a product widely used in apples around the world to improve eating quality and storability. Ripening of the fruit is initiated by ethylene, and in some cases this is also true.

To a certain extent, the ripening process's speed is regulated by its concentration in the fruit. Fruits generally soften, and apples soften more rapidly when the ethylene content is high, but ethylene is also volatile in the fruit needed to stimulate the formation of flavor-producing substances. Low-temperature air storage slows the ripening process but does not prevent it.



1-MCP is a new compound that can make our lives better.
It prevents this ethylene binding and prevents or severely interferes with ethylene-induced fruit ripening. And its effect on fruit quality. The treatment of apples with 1-MCP has produced some exciting results. These include significant retention of hardness and a significant reduction in surface scalding.

What's 1-MCP

1-Methylcyclopropene(1-MCP), as a plant growth regulator, is an excellent ethylene inhibitor. The irreversible binding of 1-MCP to the ethylene receptor blocks the normal physiological function of ethylene, thereby delaying the quality decline caused by ethylene. In view of non-toxic, non-pollution, and high efficiency, 1-MCP has broad application prospects in the preservation of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. In some developed countries, 1-MCP, as a preservative, is called a revolutionary development.


Application of 1-MCP

Fruits: apple, pear, apricot, peach, persimmon, honeydew melon, plum, nectarine, kiwi, cherry, longan, bayberry, Cucurbita melon, jujube, avocado, grape, mango, papaya, banana, passion fruit, Strawberry, pineapple, guava, etc.

Vegetables: tomatoes, lettuce, celery, kale, potatoes, carrots, daylily, onions, toon, beans, broad beans, peas, broccoli, asparagus, coriander, cucumber, onions, leeks, garlic sprouts, (green, red) peppers, North Korea Thistle, cowpea, sweet corn, enoki mushroom, etc.

Instruction for Use

This microdose packaged product is suitable for the cartons lined, transit boxes or plastic bags, and another packaging of fruits batch processing. The specific methods are as follows:

1) Check the fresh-keeping bag before packaging the fruits, requiring no damage to the bag ( so as not to affect the use effect ). Use this product after packing the fruit and before sealing.

2) After packaging the fruits into bags, put 1-MCP directly into the fresh-keeping bag when precooling, then fold the fresh-keeping bag, and seal it. Seal the fruits bags or cartons if transported directly, the processing time shall not be less than 24 hours, the processing temperature is 5 to 20 °C.


Precautions of 1-MCP

1) The harvest time should be at an appropriate maturity of crops.

The preservative processing should be as soon as possible, the sooner, the better effect you would get.

When the maturity is too high, using this product for treatment is not recommended.

2) After putting the 1MCP into the refreshing keeping bags, it would volatilize 1- MCP gas and play a role

in preservation in a short time. After the treatment with 1MCP, the sensitivity to carbon dioxide of treated

products will increase, so the carbon dioxide contentin of the storage environment should be kept lower.

3) Seal the package of this product, do not open the package if don’t use it.

Use it up as soon as possible after opening the package. If you are not going to finish it in time,

you should tie the bag immediately and store it in a cool, dry place.

4) This product should not be taken orally, and children are forbidden to contact.

5) Sealed, placed in a cool dry place.

A Quick Guide to Lawn Fertilizers

图片
If you want to let your lawn look healthy and green, it is essential that you fertilize your lawn. Lawn Fertilizer is one of the most important factors that affect the growth of your lawn. Proper fertilizing provides color and growth to your lawn grass and also helps it to grow thick. Let us take a look at the main constituents of fertilizers. Standard fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Fertilizing involve the administration of all these constituents but in different amounts. Most lawns would need nitrogen in the maximum amount as it helps in fast growth, gives the grasses darker color and also thickens the grasses. However, you cannot neglect the administration of phosphate and potash. A deficient in phosphate and potash coupled with high dose of nitrogen will result in too much top growth. This can cause insufficient root growth and reduce nutrient storage capacity. A balanced fertilizing program would include all the three constituents in proper amount and micro-nut

Sustainable Agriculture - Importance & Definition

图片
Sustainable agriculture are often a broad and sometimes vague term without a universally agreed-upon definition. i like better to define sustainability within the broadest sense possible, therein sustainability is that the power to carry out practices indefinitely, without having to eventually halt them thanks to negative impacts on environment, community, or the processes themselves. Sustainable agriculture thus involves quite just environmentally sound farming practices, but also necessarily encompasses both economic considerations (questions of resource utilization) and human considerations also. Why is sustainability important in agriculture? Unfortunately, this agricultural production systems in place not only within the U.S. but in many parts of the earth are highly unsustainable. variety of the problems with agriculture include the destruction of untamed ecosystems, just like the clearing of rainforest and other biomes to make room for farming, nutrient pollution and chemical po

Pros and Cons of Organic Fertilizer

图片
Now, many growers, gardeners and farmers are beginning to understand the need for providing nutrients quickly in order to promote abundant plant growth in gardens and landscapes. Application of nutrients may be accomplished by using either organic or inorganic fertilizer. Due to increased environmental concerns, growers today tend to prefer the use of organic fertilizers over the inorganic type. Traditional fertilizers are known to contain chemicals that may contain concentrated nutrients that may leach and disrupt the soil. It should be noted however, that most people who buy organic fertilizers use them because they believe they are safer for plants. However, if the fertilizer is not applied properly, it can be just as harmful to plants as chemicals are. If not applied properly, they may contribute to ground water pollution, induce salt burn, or cause nutrient deficiencies and soil toxicity. One particular problem that should be emphasized with organic fertilizers is that many of the
