In many fruits and vegetables, chilling injury is responsible for substantial postharvest losses. The reduction of these losses is both economically and scientifically important. While no available techniques can entirely eliminate the injury caused by chilling, some methods have been demonstrated to alleviate chilling injury symptoms. These methods, which include chemical treatments, applications of growth regulators, prestorage temperature conditioning, intermittent warming, controlled atmosphere storage, high storage humidity, film packaging, waxing, hypobaric storage and genetic modification, are reviewed.
