To enable this process, several substrates such as cyclodextrin, cucurbituril, molecular sieves, sawdust, and modified starch have been tested for encapsulation of 1-MCP. Among these, cyclodextrin has shown great potential because 1-MCP remains stable as a single molecule within its cavity.
"The 1-MCP complex particles are then mixed with adhesives and applied as a coating on cellulose-based paper. There are two methods: first, mixing the complex directly with adhesives before coating the paper; and second, coating the paper with adhesive first, then applying the 1-MCP complex on top," Endy concluded.
