Abstract:

In China, the production of pomelo occupies 12.9% of citrus fruits. The production, quality and export of this species of fruit show great potential. This article reviews recent progress in postharvest physiology and storage technology of pomelo involving storage characteristics, the effect of harvesting period on fruit quality, physiological and metabolic changes during storage, physiological disorders, postharvest handling, fresh-cutting and fresh-keeping, fresh-keeping on the plant, and so on.

Key words: pomelo fruit, postharvest physiology, physiological disorder, storage technology, review
