Volatile cmpounds were measured after 4, 12, 20, and 28 weeks plus 1 or 7 days at 20 °C. Treatment with 1-MCP and then storage in air or CA or storage in CA without 1-MCP treatment reduced volatile production as compared to apples not treated with 1-MCP stored in air. The reduced production of esters, alcohols, aldehydes, acetic acid, and 1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene was observed. Ester production by fruit stored in CA decreased throughout the storage period regardless of previous 1-MCP treatment. The production of esters, alcohols, aldehydes, acetic acid, and 1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene by 1-MCP-treated fruit stored in air plus 7 days at 20 °C increased after 20 or 28 weeks of storage. Continuous exposure to 417 ìmol m-3 ethylene for 7 days at 20 °C after 12 or 28 weeks of storage stimulated production of many volatile compounds, primarily esters and alcohols, by fruit stored in CA or 1-MCP-treated apples stored in air. However, exposure to ethylene had no effect on the production of aldehydes or acetic acid.  a1-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene  aAlcohols  aAldehydes  aEsters  aEthylene  aFirmness  aMethylcyclopropene  tJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Davis, Californiagv. 53, p. 4510-4516, 2005.
