Summary

Flesh browning, mealiness and softening are the main causes of postharvest deterioration of peaches and nectarines. Gas application of three concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was evaluated on one peach (September Sun), and two nectarine (Arctic Snow and Flamekist) cultivars stored for 17, 23 and 34 days at 0, 5 and 10 °C.
