The quest for longer-lasting, higher-quality produce has driven significant innovation in the agricultural sector. Among the most impactful advancements is the development and widespread adoption of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a sophisticated ethylene inhibitor that has revolutionized post-harvest practices for fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-purity 1-MCP, a critical agrochemical intermediate that empowers growers, packers, and distributors to preserve their products effectively. As a leading supplier in China, we are dedicated to providing innovative solutions that address the challenges of extending shelf life and reducing food waste.

Understanding 1-MCP's Mechanism of Action

Ethylene, a plant hormone, plays a pivotal role in the ripening and senescence of produce. 1-MCP acts as a competitive antagonist to ethylene, binding to its receptors and thereby blocking its signaling pathways. This precise interference with ethylene's action leads to several key benefits:

  • Delayed Ripening and Senescence: By inhibiting ethylene's effects, 1-MCP significantly slows down the natural aging process of fruits and vegetables, maintaining their desirable characteristics for longer.
  • Preservation of Quality Attributes: This includes maintaining firmness, color, flavor, and nutritional content, ensuring that produce remains appealing and valuable throughout the supply chain.
  • Reduced Physiological Disorders: 1-MCP can help mitigate common post-harvest issues such as chilling injury and browning, further enhancing the overall quality and marketability of the produce.
  • Extended Shelf Life: The cumulative effect of these actions is a substantial increase in the shelf life of a wide variety of agricultural products, making it easier for businesses to buy, transport, and sell perishable goods.
