Abstract:

Sugar metabolism is the basis for the formation of fruit color and flavor, and the metabolism of other nutrients,
which is a major factor determining the quality and commercial value of the fruits. The regulation of sugar metabolism is
particularly important for postharvest fruit ripening and quality. This paper reviews the recent progress in understanding
the regulation of sugar metabolism with respect to physical control and control in postharvest fruits, which will provide a
theoretical reference for the improvement of fruit quality.

Key words: sugar metabolism, postharvest fruit, soluble solids, sucrose, fructose, glucose
