Abstract: The fresh sprout of Lycium chinense Mill after removing rotten and yellow leaves were packed in plastic bags loosely closed or opened,and then stored at 0,10 and 20 ℃,respectively. The weight loss,decay rate,contents of O2-·and MDA,POD activity were investigatesat at the interval of 4 days during the storage period. The results showed that 0℃ plus loosely closed packaging can significantly reduce the weight loss and decay rate of Lycium chinense Mill and 0℃ can also reduce the contents of MDA and O2-·and inhibit POD activity during the storage period of Lycium chimeses Mill. So the tissue senescence is postponed.

Key words: Lycium chinense Mill, storage, temperature, package, physiological characteristics
