The aim of the thesis on the Effect of 1-MCP on the extension of the shelf-life of peach and plum fruits was to determine the effect of 1-MCP on the peach fruits of the 'Redhaven' variety and plum fruits of the 'TOP' variety. The practical part consisted of harvesting the fruits of harvest maturity, an analysis of quality parameters (weight, firmness, sensory evaluation, titratable acid, soluble solids, ethylene production, respiration), 1-MCP treatment and storage at 2 °C and 20°C. After 7 and 14 days (10 days in the case of peaches stored at 20 °C) the quality parameters of all fruits were determined. Using the measured values, the effect of 1-MCP on various parameters influencing the prolongation of life was considered for treated and control fruits. The theoretical part dealt with different fruit species and varieties, material components important for fruit ripening, ethylene, 1-MCP and storage of fruit.
