Abstract:Pepino is also called mellow eggplant,which it has high moisture,is rich in mineral,vitamin and polyphenol antioxidant active substances,but it is prone to pathogen infection after harvesting. In order to solve the problem of post-harvest preservation in the pepino industry,we provided an overview on nutrients,phenolic substances,and antioxidant capacity in pepino,and described the details about the key factors affecting the post-harvest physiological characteristics of fruit,such as fruit color,respiration,carbohydrate and texture changes,meanwhile,we introduced the method of post-harvest preservation by controlling temperature,atmosphere and other storage conditions in this review. In summary,the problems of pepino in the development of nutrients and storage and preservation were pointed out and the future research was prospected. |
