Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the postharvest quality of oranges cv. Folha Murcha, treated with 1-MCP and stored for 60 days at 7, 14 and 25 °C. The analysis performed every 15 days were: weight loss, percentage of juice, content of soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), ratio (SS/TA), and content of vitamin C, phenolic compounds and total carotenoids. Results showed: 1-MCP did not provide greater postharvest conservation for fruits analyzed; the application of 1-MCP did not changed the chemical characteristics as SS, TA, vitamin C, carotenoids and phenolic compounds; and the shorter the period between harvesting and cooling, the better was the preservation of fruits.
