Abstract：Broccoli florets were treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)
at concentrations of 0-5.0 μL/L for 6 h at 20 C followed by storage at
20 ℃. 1-MCP markedly extended the storage life and delayed the
degradation of chlorophyll. The beneficial effects were dependent upon
concentrations, and 2.5 μL/L 1-MCP was the most effective one among all
the treatments, the contents of vitamin C and protein in this treatment
were always higher than those in the control during storage at 20 C. SOD
and CAT activities were higher while POD activity was lower in the
treatment than in the control.
