Unilong supplies 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), CAS 3100-04-7, as an almost-white powder formulation with Assay ≥3.3% and Purity ≥98% for commercial postharvest ethylene management.
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a postharvest ethylene-action inhibitor used to help manage ripening and senescence in fruits, vegetables, cut flowers and ornamentals.
1-MCP is used in commercial postharvest storage and distribution programs to manage ethylene-related ripening, softening and quality changes. Common application settings include packing houses, cold-storage facilities, fresh-produce export operations and distribution centers.
1-MCP works by interacting with ethylene receptors in plant tissue and limiting the plant’s response to ethylene. It is a plant growth regulator rather than a fungicide and is used as part of an appropriate postharvest management program.

1-MCP is used in postharvest programs where ethylene management is important for controlling ripening, softening and senescence during storage, transportation and commercial distribution.
Treatment requirements vary by crop type, variety, maturity stage, storage conditions, treatment environment and the 1-MCP supply format selected for the application.
Used in postharvest programs for ethylene-sensitive fruits during storage and distribution.
Used with selected vegetables whose postharvest behavior is influenced by ethylene.
Used where ethylene-related senescence can affect commercial quality during handling, storage and distribution.
| Produce | Application Focus |
|---|---|
| Apples | Firmness and ripening management during long-term storage |
| Pears | Ripening and firmness management during storage and distribution |
| Kiwifruit | Ethylene-response and softening management |
| Bananas | Controlled ripening and distribution programs |
| Mangoes & Papayas | Ripening management during storage and transportation |
| Avocados & Persimmons | Postharvest ethylene management where suitable |
1-MCP is commonly used in controlled or enclosed postharvest treatment environments, including storage rooms and other suitable handling spaces.
Key application factors include:
Because 1-MCP is released in gaseous form during use, packaging integrity and suitable treatment conditions are important for consistent application.
