- Abstract
Pineapple is one of Indonesia′s leading tropical fruits distributed in both domestic and international markets. High demand for pineapple leads to the development of pineapple preservation in Indonesia. However, postharvest handling constraints that have not been optimally hampered restrict the development of the pineapple agroindustry due to fruit damage. In addition, it can cause problems in the form of quality degradation such as the appearance of mold, decay, shell pitting, chilling injury, and internal browning. One way to inhibit damage and extend pineapple’s shelf life is applying 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). This study used 1-MCP treatment with a concentration of 1 ppm to keep the pineapple quality for long-term storage. This study used 192 fresh pineapples produced by PT Great Giant Pineapple. The treated pineapples were kept at a display temperature of 25 ± 0.5°C and a cold temperature of 7 ± 0.5°C. Changes in physiological parameters such as carbon dioxide (CO2) production, texture, weight loss, and shell color were analyzed every 4 days in display temperature and every 7 days for 42 days of storage in cold temperature. Statistical analysis was implemented to test the 1-MCP effect on pineapple for each parameter. This study has a conclusion that pineapple with 0,5 ppm treatment has the best results as also shown for other fresh products.
