Abstract: Banana is a typical climacteric fruit. It can not be storage for a long time. The banana storage technique has been given a long-term attention by the industry, and many studies have been made by experts and scholars. Thus, it is still not thoroughly solved. In this paper, the overview in the aspects of the storage and fresh-keeping technique of banana research in recent years, which were the changes of postharvest quality, physiology and biochemistry, the effect factors of the storage and the storage technique, were measured. With the study of the postharvest physiology and the storage technique, it was pointed out that some problems were still existed in the storage of banana, and it could be studied from macroscopic physiological levels gradually into molecular level to explore more direct and effective methods for improving the banana storability.
