Abstract: The effects of chitosan coating on the quality of “Baifeng” peach fruits stored at 1±0.5℃ were studied. The results showed that 1% chitosan coating was effective to inhibit the increase of respiratory rate, polyphenol oxidanse (PPO), peroxidase (POD) activities, and to keep the content of reducing sugar, and soluble solids at low level with titratable acid, total sugar at high level.

Key words: Prunus persica(cv‘baifeng’), chitosan coating, storage quality
