Abstract: Research on low-temperature conditions on the GuiFei loquat quality of post-harvest.The results showed that low temperature could inhibit the fruit of weight loss and delay the decrease of sugar and acid.Tests showed that hardness of loquat fruit dropped during the first period , while the later period increased.The edible rate and soluble solids content have decreased of each processing.The experiment results showed that the optimum storage temperature of GuiFei loquat fruit was 6-8 ℃, under which fruit quality could be well kept for 20-30 days.
