(Central News Agency Reporter Weishu Taibei on 23rd) The market pineapple sakya price is not cheap,Moreover after recovers does not bear stores for a long time,In recent years the Taitung area planted area expansion,output expansion,Deserve to expand the export market.Agriculture committee Taitung agriculture improvement farm assistant Researcher LiJianxun studies after more than two years,after the pineapple sakya fumigate by 1-MCP(1-methylcyclopropene,ethylene inhibitor),Refrigerates in 15℃ low temperatures, may delay the ripe soft time, grows a cabinet life.
     Market sakya divides into traditional sakya and the pineapple sakya two kinds,The Taitung area plants area to amount to 4,500 hectares,Accounts for entire Taiwan 80% above output,Usual since July to next year February, March is produces season;But pineapple sakya usually since late December to next year will be able to go on market officially.
     pineapple sakya is the year fruit, after recovery does not bear stores for a long time.Because the flavor is special, fruit gigantic, the price sells quite well,In recent years the farmer plants to  increment,the domestic sale market shortage with digest,Possibly can affect the price,Therefore the for sale abroad becomes importantly sells pipeline,But after recovers,Must suitably maintain freshness stores,Can lengthen the fruit storage life and maintenance certain quality.
      Today LiJianxun in the great exhibition of biotechnology technology pointed out,He uses the overseas use's maintenance fresh flower and fruit's ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene)in the laboratory,By 2ppm density,Processes after pineapple Shakya with has not 1-MCP processing compared,Stores separately in Celsius 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on different temperature experiments,result discovery,After 1-MCP processing has reduces the breathing rate and the ethylene produces quantity results.
     The test result discovered,By 15 degree centigrades refrigerations, in addition after 1-MCP fumigation,Can make the fruit degree of hardness descend speed to slow down,to retards the soft ripe time,About after from 10 days to 12 days just start afterripening.Compares with pineapple Shakya which has not processing by 1-MCP Start additional ripening 8 days to 10 days,Has striven for the marine transportation transportation time and a commodity goods life greatly.
    But experiments discovered,when stores for a long time to the low temperature 10 degree centigrades,Is unable to normal additional ripening but to change black actually,This is the experiment which LiJianxun next step must carry on.
     LiJianxun emphasized,Pineapple Shakya at present only for sale abroad Southeast Asia,Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China and so on area,the price also sells very much well,Therefore is worth for sale abroad development extremely.But present pineapple Shakya process by 1-MCP must in the airtight space,Also not after official commercial revolution,Therefore also waits for through temperature change and so on factot when transport and convey the test,Can further utilization in the commercial use.
