Abstract: The effects of storage temperature (room temperature, 10+1℃and 0+1℃) and packaging mode on physiological changes of Chrysanthemum nankingense were investigated. The results showed that the respiratory rate, O2· and MDA (malondia-ldehyde) contents, rate of relative electric conduction, and activities of PPO(polyphenol oxidase) and POD(peroxidase) of Chrysanthemum nankingense are all lowered at 0℃. The results also showed that loose-sealing packaging is better than open packaging for the control of physiological changes of Chrysanthemum nankingense at temperature of 10℃ and 0℃, but it is contrary at room temperature.

Key words: Chrysanthemum nankingense, packaging mode, storage temperature
