Abstract

With the rapid development of the economy and the improvement of living standards, people not only have an increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables but also have become increasingly strict on the nutrition, safety, and quality of fruits and vegetables. However, the characteristics of high nutrition and high moisture make them easily susceptible to microbial infection, which can seriously reduce their nutritional value and economic value and even cause food safety problems. Therefore, from the perspective of nutrition and safety, this study examines the application and research of non-thermal physical preservation technologies, such as packaging, irradiation, and cold plasma, in the postharvest storage of fruits and vegetables, and forecasts the research and development trends of fruit preservation technology.
