BAZI HASAT SONRASI UYGULAMALARININ RAF ÖMRÜ BOYUNCA ANAMUR MUZUNUN (Musa acuminata Colla (AAA GRUP) FİZİKSEL VE KİMYASAL ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Özet

Öz Effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatments onphysical and biochemical properties of Anamur bananas during shelf life period were investigated. Thefruits treated with 1-MCP sustained better brightness and green color, measured with L* and a* values,respectively, than did the MAP treated and non-treated fruits. Exposure to 1-MCP delayed changes inskin color and flesh softening of bananas. CO2production steadily increased over time, with the lowestrate in 1-MCP treated samples. The lowest ethylene production was observed in the fruits treated with1-MCP. The PPO activity in 1-MCP and MAP treated fruit flesh was erratic
