Modified Atmosphere Packaging and 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatments Maintain the Fruit Quality of 'Wonmi' Persimmons during Export Simulation.

Persimmons are one of the most important export fruits in South Korea, where several tons are exported across the globe each year. In this study, the quality attributes of 'Wonmi' persimmon fruits were evaluated during an export simulation at 0 °C, 10 °C, and 24 °C with a combination of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatments. The relative humidity during the export simulation was greater at room temperature (75-92%) and 0 °C (85% to 93%) than at 10 °C (42% to 60%).
