Abstract:

The paper reviews the research progress on the postharvest storage physiology of snap bean such as appearance
quality, respiratory climacteric, cell membrane permeability and nutritional quality. The factors influencing the storage of
snap bean were introduced such as variety, ripeness, nutritional condition, storage condition, physico-chemical treatment and
packaging material. This review summarized the research advances in storage technology of room temperature storage, low
temperature storage, controlled atmosphere storage and coating film storage. The future research and development trends on
storage technology of snap bean were also discussed.

Key words: snap bean, storage, physiology, factors, research advance
