| After harvest, litchi fruit highly tends to become browning and decaying during storage at room temperature,
while low temperature can prolong its storage time. In this study, using 耶Feizixiao爷fruits as materials, several physiological
parameters were measured to investigate the effects of pre -cooling and logistics condition, including low and room
temperature transportation, on postharvest litchi fruit quality during storage. The results showed that the browning index,
decay ratio and relative electric conductivity were obviously reduced by pre -cooling combined with low temperature
transportation. In addition, the decrease in contents of total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acid (TA) and VC was delayed.
These results suggest that pre-cooling combined with low temperature transportation can maintain the quality of litchi fruit
during storage. Together, our findings will provide data and theoretical basis for the application and improve cold-chain
logistics technology of postharvest litchi fruit. |
