Summary

The effects of ice storage at room temperature and storage duration on the ultrastructure and temperature of fruits of Litchi chinensis cv. Huaizhi at 85% maturity were investigated. Fruits were packed using a 0.05 mm plastic film and stored in sealed foam boxes, in which different weights of ice were added surrounding the fruit package. After 72 h of storage, the fruits were taken out and placed for 24 h at ambient temperature. The pericarp of the fruits was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The addition of ice could effectively postpone the breakdown of pericarp tissues.
