Present research work was undertaken to study the effect of 1-Methyl Cyclopropene (1MCP) on quality and shelf life of the mango fruits (Cv. Alphanso). The freshly harvested matured mango fruits were treated with fungicide at 0.5 μL/L concentration for 10 mins followed by washing and cleaning. The fruits were then exposed to different concentrations of 1-MCP viz. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 μL/L at 20°C for 12 and 24 hrs respectively along with control fruits in an airtight chamber. The results obtained after conducting the above experiments indicated that the ripening was delayed by 1-MCP at early stages and shelf life of the fruit increases as the concentration of 1-MCP increased. Various physico-chemical changes such as physiological loss in weight (PLW), total soluble solids, surface colour, titrable acidity, ascorbic acid content and firmness of fruit was majorly influenced by 1-MCP which showed lower physiological loss in weight (11.6%), gradual increase in TSS from 9.7 to 22.1°Brix and colour from -3.63 to 2.59, considerable decrease was observed in titrable acidity from 1.34 to 0.14%, Ascorbic acid content from 81.18 to 25.2 mg/100 g and texture decreased from 312 to 66 gf respectively as compared to rest of the treatments and control fruits.
