Abstract: In this paper, five different low pressures, 86.1, 70.9, 55.7, 40.5 and 25.3kPa, were used to determine the best condition for the hypobaric storage of‘ Dongzao’ jujube fruits. The results were as follows: comparison with CK, hypobaric storage could hold the fruit firmness of‘ Dongzao’ jujube, inhibit the development of surface red-changing, decrease the weight loss, maintain the organic acid contents and vitamin C contents, hold the better appearance and retard its senescence. The low pressure 55.7kPa is best in this experiment.
