Abstract: Effects of packaging with PE, PVC and microporous membrane packaging on the quality and ethylene release rate of black plum fruit at 0 ℃ and the subsequent shelf life at 25 ℃ were investigated.The experiment results showed that the weight loss rate was inhibited effectively with PE, PVC and microporous membrane packaging ( p < 0.05) which was good for fruit storage.Among these packaging, PVC could most effectively change air condition in package by reducing the volume fraction of O₂ and increasing that of CO₂ ( p < 0.05) .The decline of firmness could be delayed effectively and SSC was kept at a high level.Softening was delayed with PE packaging, and the color change was higher than other plum significantly.Microporous membrane was suitable for fruits that sensitive to CO₂.Ethylene release rate of plums could be inhibited effectively during storage with PE, PVC and microporous membrane packaging, compared with the control without packaging.
