Abstract:
High-value fruits and vegetables possess high nutritional value, economic value, and market demand.However, they are prone to browning and rot during harvesting and transportation, leading to a decrease in commodity value and hindering the healthy development of the industry. Moreover, with the widespread concern about food safety issues, it is of significance to research and develop efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly preservation technologies for high-value fruits and vegetables. This review summarizes the research progress of preservation technologies for high-value fruits and vegetables at home and abroad. Based on recent research hotspots, this review focuses on introducing the mechanisms and application effects of various preservation technologies in high-value fruits and vegetables, including modified atmosphere packaging, nano-preservation, 1-MCP treatment, melatonin treatment, antagonistic microbial agents preservation, natural extracts preservation, and genetic engineering preservation.The review analyzes the advantages, disadvantages, and existing issues of various preservation technologies, and proposes the future development directions and application prospects of preservation technologies for high-value fruits and vegetables, aiming to provide insights and references for the research and development of new preservation technologies for high-value fruits and vegetables.
