What is of 1-MCP 1-Methylcyclopropene CAS 3100-04-7 ?

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a highly effective and safe plant growth regulator widely recognized around the world. It is mainly used in the post-harvest preservation of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. By slowing down the natural ripening and aging process, 1-MCP helps maintain freshness, flavor, and texture, while significantly extending shelf life.

Today, 1-MCP has become a key technology in the storage, transport, and sale of fresh produce, especially for apples, pears, bananas, kiwifruit, and cut flowers.

Especificación

Key Benefits

• Delays ripening and aging – prevents fruits and vegetables from softening, yellowing, or losing flavor.

• Maintains texture – keeps apples, pears, and other fruits firm and crisp, avoiding post-harvest mealiness.

• Reduces disease incidence – slows physiological decline, lowering the chance of decay and spoilage.

• Preserves color and taste – keeps produce vibrant and flavorful by inhibiting chlorophyll breakdown.

Aplicación 

1-MCP is widely applied across different categories of produce:

• Pome fruits: Apples, pears – standard in storage facilities to preserve quality for months.

• Tropical fruits: Bananas, kiwifruit, mangoes, papayas – controls ripening for transport and export.

• Citrus fruits: Reduces peel disorders such as puffiness and shriveling.

• Vegetables: Tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, leafy greens – slows softening and yellowing.

• Flowers & ornamentals: Carnations, lilies, roses, and potted plants – delays wilting, petal drop, and leaf yellowing, extending vase and shelf life.

How It Works

When fruits and vegetables ripen, they release ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone that triggers aging.
1-MCP works by:

• Binding to the ethylene receptors inside plant cells.

• Blocking ethylene’s ability to start the ripening process.

• “Pausing” the natural aging process without harming the produce.

This simple but powerful mechanism allows growers, distributors, and retailers to control freshness with precision.
