The invention provides a method for performing fresh-keeping treatment on fruits. The method comprises the following steps of keeping picked fruits dry, performing precooling, and treating the fruitswith
electron beams, wherein the energy of the
electron beams is smaller than or equal to 300keV, the total
irradiation dose of the
electron beams is 4-48kGy, the total
irradiation frequency of the electron beams is 2-4 times, the
irradiation dose of the electron beams at a time is 2-12kGy, and double-sided irradiation or four-sided irradiation is performed; and performing irradiation on each surface with the electron beams once, and after irradiation, performing low-temperature storage. Compared with the prior art, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the
skin of tropical fruits is treated with low-energy electron beams in a
large dose, so that surface microorganisms are killed, the activity of the inner parts of the fruits can be maintained while the microorganisms are killed, and the situation that the after-
ripening effect of the fruits is lost and the fruits are maintained in an immature state due to the fact that the fruits are treated with high-energy electron beams at present is effectively avoided; and besides, the low-temperature storage is combined, so that the
respiratory rate of the fruits is reduced, the fresh-keeping period and the shelf lifeof the fruits are prolonged, and the situation that the fruits cannot be ripe due to the fact that enzymes in the fruits are inactivated when the fruits are irradiated with the high-energy electron beams in a
large dose can be effectively avoided.
