Product Name | 1-MCP |
Cas No. | 127277-53-6 |
Formulation | Dustable Powder |
Application/Uses |
1-MCP is a highly effective inhibitor of ethylene production and ethylene action. Ethylene, a plant hormone that promotes ripening and senescence, can be produced by some plants themselves and also exists in a certain amount in the storage environment or even in the air. Only when ethylene binds to the relevant receptors inside the cells can it activate a series of physiological and biochemical reactions related to ripening, thereby accelerating the senescence and death of plants.Similarly, 1-MCP can also bind well to ethylene receptors, but this binding does not trigger the biochemical reactions associated with ripening. Therefore, if 1-MCP is applied before the production of endogenous ethylene in plants or the action of exogenous ethylene, it will bind to ethylene receptors preferentially. This effectively prevents ethylene from binding to its receptors, significantly slowing down the ripening and senescence process of fruits and vegetables and thus extending their shelf life. |
Dosage | The concentration of 1-MCP required is exceptionally low (typically 0.5-1.0 μL/L), yet it achieves sustained effectiveness lasting from several weeks to months |
