1-Methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) – an excellent ethylene inhibitor


1-Methylcyclopropene(1-MCP), as a plant growth regulator, is an excellent ethylene inhibitor. The irreversible binding of 1-MCP to the ethylene receptor blocks the normal physiological function of ethylene, thereby delaying the quality decline caused by ethylene. In view of non-toxic, non-pollution and high efficiency, 1-MCP has broad application prospects in the preservation of fruits, vegetables and flowers. In some developed countries, 1-MCP, as a preservative, is called a revolutionary development.

1-MCP fresh keeping agent, the main component is 1 – methylcyclopropene, which is found by  scientific research to be the most effective ethylene inhibitor in recent years.
It has no toxicity, no residue, no pollution to the environment, and has been widely used in keeping fresh for fruits, vegetables and flowers.
