A study was conducted to determine the effect of cold storage on the morphology and changes of internal substances in the Ziziphus jujuba cv. Linyilizao. Cold storage significantly inhibited fruit transpiration and red colour change ratio, and kept the freshness of Linyilizao very well. Analysis of the chemical composition of cold-stored fruits showed that their soluble solids, organic acids, alcohol and protein content did not change significantly compared with those of fruits stored in room temperature during the early storage period. The vitamin C (Vc) content of fruits in cold storage was higher than that of fruits in room temperature. A high content of soluble solids, organic acids, Vc and protein, and low content of alcohol in fruits was maintained in cold storage. When the Linyilizao flesh became soft in room temperature, its Vc content fell significantly and its alcohol content increased rapidly.
