Abstract:

This paper describes recent advances in the development of methods for preserving kiwifruit. We elucidate the
main current problems regarding kiwifruit storage such as chilling injury, decay and soft rotting and kiwifruit preservation
approaches including physical, chemical and biological methods, and discuss future trends in the development of kiwifruit
preservation methods, aiming at providing evidence for extending the storage life of kiwifruit and reducing the incidence of
decay during storage.

Key words: kiwifruit, storage, preservation technique
