Abstract: The storage effect and physiological changes of Huaizhi, Nuomici and Guiwei cultivars with different postharvest treatments and stored under room temperature were studied. The results showed that the storage properties of litchi cv. Guiwei was better than cvs. Nuomici and Huaizhi. Proper postharvest treatments could extend storage life. Packaging with polyethylene boxes was better than polyethylene bags in the beginning 4 d; storage in the airconditioned room could also extend storage life. Determination of fruit respiration, nutrition and the polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities indicated that they were related to the fruit storage properties.
