During storage, total sugar, reducing sugar and total soluble solids contents of longan fruits increased, pulp cell permeability decreased and flavour improved. In cv. Fuyan, ethylene production during storage was only 2.31-3.91 nl g-1 h-1; ethylene had no significant effect on fruit senescence. No climacteric peak in respiration was observed, thus cold storage was more suitable than controlled atmosphere storage for longan fruits. The percentage of marketable fruits was 96.6% after 8 days of storage at 30 plus or minus 2 deg C, 98.8% after 45 days of storage at 3-4 deg , and 99.5% and 98.0%, respectively, after 183 and 366 days of storage (following rapid freezing) at -18 deg .
