Research on the storage of Aport apples with MCP-1 treatment

The paper presents the results of a study on the storage of Aport apples using the MCP-1 preparation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of MCP-1 in the storage of the Almaty variety of Aport apples. The fruits were stored in a controlled atmosphere (CA) and under normal conditions, divided into control and experimental batches. Measurements were taken before and after storage, as well as after 14 days of aging at +23°C, simulating retail conditions. Despite initial violations of agricultural technologies and late harvesting, MCP-1 treatment had a positive effect: it helped to preserve the density and quality of the fruit, as well as reduce physiological disorders, especially under RGS storage conditions. The MCP-1 preparation not only effectively preserves the texture and respiratory stability of the fruit, but also significantly reduces losses caused by diseases, especially during long-term storage and subsequent aging at room temperature. This enhances the scientific and applied value of the use of modern growth regulators in fruit and vegetable storage technologies. The results obtained confirm the high effectiveness of MCP-1 in the storage of Aport apples and its significance for reducing losses during storage and sale, especially in the context of the Aport revival program in Kazakhstan.
