Summary

Chemicals, such as SO2, Sporgon, phytohormones (2,4-D and GA3) and non-toxic, effective and low-cost natural fresh-keeping agents (e.g. chitin) are presently used in postharvest treatments. Some fresh-keeping agents with flavouring and health care applications have been derived from extracts of medicinal herbs. Modern storage methods are developing rapidly in China due to accelerated growth of production and market demand, but traditional storage methods will still dominate, partly due to their low cost.
