Summary

Fruits of 2 longan cultivars were stored at 1, 2.5 or 5 °C for 30 days. Disease was controlled in both cultivars at 1 °C, but chilling injury was observed on the skin of Wuyuan, and it increased rapidly after 20 days. Wuyuan appeared to be more chilling sensitive with an optimum storage temperature of 2.5 °C. Storage of Shixia at 1 °C under enhanced carbon dioxide (6-8%) and reduced oxygen (4-6%) concentrations gave the best disease control.
