| Abstract: |
| This study was to assess the effects of precooling and packaging on maintaining the postharvest quality of mini cucumber during logistics process. It was shown that low temperature（13℃） was better than ambient temperature to the freshness of mini cucumber during logistics，while precooling was better than no precooling to maintain pulp firmness，green peel color and vitamin C level. If the logistics at ambient temperature exceeded 2 d，the mini cucumber tended to generate off flavor. In all，precooling and transportation at 13℃ could effectively maintain the quality of mini cucumber; carton or bubble chamber sealed packaging after precooling could effectively extend the storage time of mini cucumber during logistics at ambient temperature，but the transportation time for bubble chamber packaging should not exceed 2 d. |
