Abstract Application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) with horticultural commodities after harvest Saichol Ketsa Associate Fellow, Academy of Science, The Royal Institute, Thailand Fruits, vegetables and ornamentals are important economic com- modities for Thailand, but they are perishable after harvest resulting in short shelf life. Ethylene produced either by commodities or derived from environment is an important factor causing a rapid deterioration of commodities after harvest. Therefore, ethylene management after harvest can alleviate deterioration of com- modities, thus prolonging their shelf life. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a very powerful inhibitor of ethylene action. 1-MCP is safe for human and friendly to environments. 1-MCP has been widely applied to horticultural commodities after harvest. In Thailand, there were reports that 1-MCP has been applied commercially to many horticultural commodities grown in Thailand. Key words: 1-MCP, deterioration, ethylene action, horticultural commodity, postharvest technology
