Advances of Relationship between Chilling Injury and Energy Metabolism of Peach Fruit

Chilling injury is the major obstacle to storing cold-sensitive fruit during low temperature storage.The reasons for causing chilling injury of cold-sensitive fruit and the symptoms of chilling injury were summarized,and the possible mechanism for chilling injury of peach fruit was defined.Meanwhile,the relationship between chilling injury and energy metabolism of peach fruit was discussed from three aspects that the changes in the mitochondrial structure of peach fruit,the relationship between ATP content and ATPase activity,and the starch metabolism.According to the results obtained from above,the postharvest cold storage technologies should be established and improved to keep the flavor qualities of peach fruits during cold preservation and after cold preservation.
