Abstract: The effects of high voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) on the weight-losing rate, browning index, rot rate, pulp firmness, respiratory activity and relative conductance of ’Zaoyan’ peach were studied in this paper. The results showed that HVEF could reduce the weight-losing rate, browning index and rot rate obviously. Meanwhile the respiratory activity and the decrease of pulp hardness of peach were controlled by HVEF. The relative conductance of peach under HVEF increased slowly, which indicated HVEF could control the ripeness and senescence of peach.

Key words:  high voltage electrostatic field, peach, post harvest, storage
