The study aimed to determine the effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the postharvest resistance of ‘Farfia’ apricot variety fruits. The study was carried out in five different applications; a) Control, b) MAP, c) 1-MCP, d) MAP + 1-MCP, e) RipeLock™ MAP packaging + 1-MCP. 1-MCP was applied at 625 ppb for 24 hours. ‘Farfia’ apricot fruits were stored at 0°C and 90% relative humidity for 8 weeks. Weight loss, color, fruit flesh firmness, total soluble solids, acidity, pH, total phenol content, antioxidant activity, respiration rate, ethylene production, sensory evaluation and decay development were determined in samples taken at 2-week intervals before and during storage after the packages were opened and kept on the shelf life (20°C) for 2 days. It was observed that the treatments containing MAP significantly reduced the weight loss of apricot fruits during storage and shelf life. Co-treatments of MAP and 1-MCP were effective in preserving fruit flesh firmness. The respiration rate of the fruits was found to be lower in the treatments containing MAP. Single and combined applications of MAP and 1-MCP slowed the ethylene release of apricot fruits. As a result of the study, it was determined that ‘Farfia’ apricot fruits in the treatments in which MAP and 1-MCP combination could be successfully stored for 42 days.
