Western A e., Wenatchee, WA 98801, USA Received 10 November 1999; accepted 8 May 2000 Abstract Perfection apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca L.) were treated with 1 l l 1 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP) for 4hat 20 C then stored at 0 or 20 C. The onset of ethylene production was delayed and respiration rate was reduced following MCP treatment. MCP treatment resulted in less firmness and titratable acidity loss during storage at both temperatures and delayed production of volatile alcohols and esters during ripening at 20 C. MCP treated fruit also exhibited less color change and were greener than controls. The effects of MCP were less pronounced following treatment of fruit at a more advanced stage of development.

Introduction Apricot fruit have a very short storage life due in part to a high respiration rate and a rapid ripening process. Apricots are usually marketed soon after harvest (Hardenburg et al., 1986) but can be stored for 1 2 weeks at 0 C. Apricot fruit are climacteric (Biale, 1960) and the ripening process is regulated by ethylene, therefore, inhibiting ethylene biosynthesis or action should slow the ripening process. Indeed, controlled atmosphere * Corresponding author. Tel.: ; fax: address: mattheis@tfrl.ars.usda.gov (J.P. Mattheis). 1 Present address: USDA, ARS, Eastern Regional Research Center, 600 E.

Apricot fruit produce many volatile compounds during ripening that contribute to fruit aroma (Tang and Jennings, 1967) and the major compounds are esters (Takeoka et al., 1990). Volatile compound production is closely correlated to ethylene production and appears to be regulated by ethylene action in apple, plum and banana fruit (Abdi et al., 1998; Fan et al., 1998a; Golding et al., 1998). It is not clear whether production of the ester compounds is regulated by ethylene during apricot fruit ripening. The ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP) (Sisler and Blankenship, 1996; /00/$ - see front matter Published by Elsevier Science B.V. PII: S (00)

Fan et al. / Posthar est Biology and Technology 20 (2000) Sisler and Serek, 1997), has been shown to inhibit fruit ripening and improve post-storage quality of climacteric fruits (Abdi et al., 1998; Golding et al., 1998; Fan and Mattheis, 1999a; Fan et al., 1999a,b). The objective of this study was to characterize physiological responses of apricot fruit to MCP treatment and to evaluate fruit quality following storage of treated fruit. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. Plant materials and quality analysis Perfection apricots were harvested from a local commercial orchard. The fruit were segregated according to ground color: maturity 1 (M1), light green, partially turning to straw color; maturity 2 (M2), straw color on most of fruit surface. The M2 fruit were stored at 20 C for 3 additional days after harvest to allow ripening to continue and accentuate differences with M1 fruit. Fruit firmness was measured on two pared surfaces with a Universal TA-XT2 texture analyzer (Texture Technologies Corp. Scarsdale, NY) with a 0.79-cm tip. Measurement of color and titratable acidity (TA) were as reported earlier (Fan et al., 1998b). Color was measured on both the sun-exposed (red) and shade side of each fruit with a colorimeter (Minolta CR-200, Japan) fitted with CIE illuminant C and an 8-mm measuring aperture. TA was measured by titrating 5 ml juice with 0.1 N KOH to ph 8.2 and was expressed as mm H +. MCP (BioTechnology for Horticulture, Burr Ridge, IL) treatments were applied at 1 l l 1 MCPfor4hat20 C in a sealed 230-l steel chamber. Control fruit were treated similarly only without MCP. After treatment, M1 and M2 fruit were stored in perforated plastic box liners at 20 C for 14 days or 1 (M1 only), 3 or 5 weeks at 0 C plus 3 days at 20 C. There were 30 fruit per maturity per treatment for each quality attribute measured, except ten replicates of three fruit were used for analysis of TA Effects of MCP on apricot respiration and ethylene production Control and MCP treated fruit (five to six fruit, total weight approximately 0.5 kg, four replicates per treatment) were placed into 12-l chambers purged with air at 6lh 1. Respiration rate was determined by measuring the CO 2 concentration in the outflow from each chamber. A 1-ml gas sample was withdrawn from the outflow, and CO 2 in the sample was determined using a HP 5890 gas chromatograph (Hewlett Packard, Avondale, PA) equipped with a methanizer (John T. Booker, Austin, TX) and a 60-cm stainless steel column (2-mm ID) packed with Porapak Q (80/100 mesh). Gas flows for N 2,H 2, and air were 65, 30, and 300 ml min 1, respectively. Oven, injector, and FID temperatures were 30, 50, and 200 C, respectively. Ethylene was measured by injecting 0.5-ml gas samples from the chamber outflows into a gas chromatograph (HP 5880A, Hewlett Packard, Avondale, PA) fitted with a 30-cm glass column (3.2 mm ID) packed with Porapak Q (80/100 mesh). Gas flows for N 2,H 2, and air were 30, 30, and 300 ml min 1, respectively. Oven, injector, and FID temperatures were 50, 50, and 200 C. CO 2 and C 2 H 4 were measured every 1 or 2 days Effect of MCP on production of apricot olatile compounds After treatment with MCP, M1 fruit were stored at 20 C in a perforated plastic box liner to maintain high relative humidity. Production of volatile compounds (Mattheis et al., 1991) was measured 1, 3, 6, and 9 days after treatment using dynamic headspace sampling. There were three replicate samples of fruit (approximately 1 kg). Purified compressed air flowed at 6lh 1 through the 4-l jars in which apricots were enclosed during volatile sampling. Volatile compounds in the outflow were adsorbed onto 50 mg of mesh Tenax TA (Alltech Associates, Deerfield, IL) packed in glass tubing (17.5 cm 0.4 cm i.d). Volatile compounds on the Tenax traps were desorbed at 250 C for 3 min using a Tekmar 6000 aero trap desorber (Tekmar Co., Cincinnati, OH). After the desorbed sample compounds were condensed at 120 C, the cryofocusing module was flash heated to 250 C under a stream of He carrier gas that carried the analytes into a Hewlett Packard 5890A/ 5971A GC-MSD equipped with a DB-Wax column

Conditions for chromatography were: initial oven temperature 35 C held for 5 min, increased to 50 C at 2 C min 1, increased to 200 C at 5 C min 1 and held 5 min. Linear velocity of the He carrier gas was 30 cm s 1. Mass spectra were obtained by electron ionization at 70 ev. Transfer line and ion source temperatures were 280 and 180 C, respectively. Compound identification was made by comparison of spectra of sample compounds with those contained in the Wiley NBS library and by comparing retention indices of sample compounds and standards. Quantification was performed using selected ion monitoring for base peaks, and quantitative values were calculated using response factors generated with standards Statistical analysis Analysis of variance, GLM, and LSD procedures were performed using SAS (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Orthogonal comparisons were performed on the data from the storage study. First, coefficients of polynomials were generated using the Proc IML procedure, and then significance of polynomials was calculated using the generated coefficients in Contrast statements of the GLM procedure. 3. Results 3.1. Effects of MCP on apricot respiration and ethylene production Fig. 1. Ethylene production of Perfection apricot fruit during ripening at 20 C. Fruit were segregated at harvest into two groups, maturity 1 (M1), light green, partially turning to straw color; or maturity 2 (M2), straw color on most of fruit surface. Fruit from each maturity group were treated with 1 l l 1 MCPfor4hat20 C, then held at 20 C for 14 (A:M1) or 12 (B:M2) days. Error bars represent S.D. of means of four replicate samples consisting of whole fruit (approximately 1 kg fresh weight). When bars are absent, the value for S.D. was within the dimensions of the symbol. Ethylene production by M1 control apricots increased beginning 2 days after treatment and reached a maximum on day 10 (Fig. 1A). The onset of the ethylene climacteric and maximum ethylene production for MCP treated fruit were delayed 4 and 2 days, respectively, compared to controls. Ethylene production by M2 control fruit reached a maximum 4 days after treatment while MCP treated fruit had a delayed ethylene climacteric and lower maximum production (Fig. 1B). Respiration rate of both M1 and M2 controls increased initially and reached maximum production after 10 (M1) or 8 (M2) days (Fig. 2A and B). MCP treatment resulted in reduced respiration rate throughout the post-treatment investigation period although respiration rate of treated fruits approached those of controls after 14 and 12 days for M1 and M2 fruit respectively Effect of MCP on apricot olatile compound production Volatile compounds identified in headspace from intact apricot fruit were esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and acetic acid.

Production of total esters and alcohols (primarily ethanol, butanol and hexanol) increased during ripening, however, fruit treated with MCP had reduced ester and alcohol production throughout the investigation period (Fig. 3A and B) Effects of MCP on apricot shelf life After 10 days at 20 C, M1 fruit treated with MCP had significantly higher firmness and TA compared to controls (Table 1). No significant weight loss occurred during storage at 20 or 0 C (data not shown). The MCP treated fruit also had higher hue (greener) and lower chroma surface Fig. 2.

When bars are absent, the value for S.D. was within the dimensions of the symbol. volatile compounds were (by decreasing amount produced): butyl butanoate, hexyl butanoate, decanal, hexyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexyl hexanoate, hexyl acetate, pentyl butanoate, butyl acetate, butyl hexanoate, nonanal, butyl propanoate, octanal and butyl 2-methylbutanoate. Most of the headspace volatile compounds were esters. Emission of the ketones 6-methyl 5-hepten 2-one, acetone as well as acetic acid did not change during ripening, and the amounts of these compounds were not affected by MCP treatment (data not shown). Production of aldehydes (butanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, benzaldehyde) increased during ripening but was not consistently affected by Fig. 3. Production of volatile esters and alcohols by Perfection apricot fruit during ripening at 20 C. Samples were collected from maturity one fruit that had a light green, partially turning to straw color at harvest. The fruit were treated with 1 l l 1 MCP for 4 h at 20 C. Error bars represent S.D. of means of four replicate samples consisting of whole fruit (approximately 1 kg fresh weight). When bars are absent, the value for S.D. was within the dimensions of the symbol.

The M2 fruit treated with MCP also had higher firmness compared to controls, however, no difference in TA was detected. No treatment effects on surface color were observed. The difference in firmness between control and MCP treated M2 fruit was not as pronounced as observed with M1 fruit. TA, hue and chroma decreased with increased storage duration. The linear component demonstrates the linear regression of quality parameters. The quadratic component measures the additional improvement due to fitting the second-order polynomial and indicates that the amount of decrease in these quality attributes increases with storage duration Effects of MCP on apricot storage quality Firmness of both control and MCP treated fruit decreased as storage duration increased (Table 2). MCP treated fruit had significantly higher firmness compared to controls after all storage durations for both M1 and M2 fruit. Differences between controls and MCP treated fruit were smaller for M2 compared to M1 fruit. MCP treated fruit had higher TA compared to controls regardless of storage duration or initial maturity. Fruit hue values decreased as storage duration increased however, MCP treated M1 fruit had higher hue values compared to controls, indicating that the fruit were greener than the controls. No treatment difference in hue for M2 fruit was observed. No consistent change in chroma was detected in relation to storage duration or treatment. Significant linear and quadratic effects for storage duration indicated firmness, 4. Discussion Storage techniques, such as controlled atmosphere, that inhibit ethylene production have been shown to improve post-storage quality of apricots and other stone fruit (Wankier et al., 1970; Claypool and Pangborn, 1972; Kader et al., 1982; Andrich and Fiorentini, 1986). Inhibition of ethylene production by AVG also prolongs storage life of peaches (Byers, 1997). Our results indicate inhibition of ethylene action in Perfection apricot fruit following treatment with MCP delays the onset of the climacteric increase in ethylene production and respiration rate. This delay is sufficient to extend storage life by delaying loss of firmness and TA as well as color changes associated with ripening.
6 140 X. Fan et al. / Posthar est Biology and Technology 20 (2000) Production of esters and alcohols increased during the ripening of control M1 fruit over a 9-day period at 20 C. The increase in ester and alcohol production during ripening is also typical for apples, another climacteric fruit that produces esters as ripening proceeds (Dirink et al., 1989; Mattheis et al., 1991; Song and Bangerth, 1996). The increase in production of ethylene, esters, and alcohols by M1 apricot fruit during ripening at 20 C is delayed following treatment with MCP. Production of volatile compounds during climacteric fruit ripening is inhibited following exposure to MCP (Song et al., 1997; Abdi et al., 1998; Golding et al., 1998; Fan and Mattheis, 1999b), indicating a role for ethylene in regulation of volatile production during climacteric fruit ripening (Fan et al., 1998a; Wyllie et al., 1998). Although production of esters and alcohols by MCP treated apricot fruit increased following an increase in ethylene production 4 days after treatment, the amount of esters and alcohols produced was less than the amount produced by control fruit over the 9-day period when volatile production was characterized. The lack of full production of these groups of volatile compounds by apricot fruit after ethylene production increased by MCP treated fruit is similar to results previously reported for banana fruit (Golding et al., 1998). Their results indicated that while initiation of ripening-related volatile synthesis was dependent on climacteric ethylene production, no direct relationship between production rates of ethylene and volatile compounds was evident. A close association with respiration rate and volatile production has been established for apple fruit (Song and Bangerth, 1996) and reduced respiration rate is a possible factor limiting volatile production rate by fruit treated with MCP (Golding et al., Table 2 Effect of MCP on apricot quality.

7 X. Fan et al. / Posthar est Biology and Technology 20 (2000) ). The increase in respiration rate by M1 apricots treated with MCP was delayed 8 days, therefore at 9 days after MCP treatment when apricot volatile production was measured, respiration rate was still lower compared to control fruit. The largest proportion of volatile compounds detected in this study were esters and alcohols; however, an appreciable amount of aldehydes were also produced. The lack of quantitative changes in aldehyde production during ripening of apricots is similar to the pattern observed during apple fruit ripening (Mattheis et al., 1991). Aldehydes are readily converted to alcohols and esters in ripening fruit (Yamashita et al., 1977; DePooter et al., 1987). When the capacity to produce esters is fully developed by the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase and alcohol acyl co-a reductase (Fellman and Mattheis, 1995), aldehydes may be converted to alcohols at a rate that prevents aldehyde accumulation in excess of the concentration present in immature fruit. Esters that contribute to the odor of intact apricots include: ethyl butanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, butyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 2- methylbutanoate, and hexyl 2-methylbutanoate (Takeoka et al., 1990). Because treatment of apricot fruit with MCP at 1 l l 1 delays production of esters, development of characteristic apricot aroma following MCP treatment may also be delayed. Although MCP treated M1 fruit were significantly firmer compared to controls after 10 days at 20 C following treatment, firmness of treated fruit was low (4.9 N). Considering the treated fruit were quite soft 10 days after treatment and that ester and alcohol production was significantly less than controls 9 days after treatment, it is possible that the delay in ester production may preclude development of typical aroma while the fruit have acceptable firmness. Although fruit quality is enhanced by harvest at an advanced developmental stage (Kader et al., 1977), logistics of harvest, packing and transport typically require producers to harvest less than fully mature fruit. The M2 fruit used in this study were overmature for commercial storage due to relatively low firmness values. Riper fruit were used to study whether MCP can effectively slow ripening of tree ripe fruit that have already developed good eating quality. The results indicate MCP treatment slowed firmness and TA loss in fruit from both maturities although the retention of firmness and TA was less with M2 fruit. Fruit treated with MCP had higher TA compared to controls and could increase the sourness of treated fruit. The potential for increased sourness along with delayed production of compounds that contribute to aroma warrant thorough sensory evaluation of MCP-treated fruit prior to commercial use of this material for apricots. In summary, MCP delays the climacteric rise in respiration and ethylene production during apricot fruit ripening. MCP treatment also slowed the changes in firmness, TA and color associated with fruit ripening. MCP can effectively prolong the storage of apricots at both 20 and 0 C, but assessment of consumer acceptance of MCP treated fruit should be determined prior to commercial use.
