On the basis of modified atmosphere packaging technology, a kind of fresh-keeping composite carton was put forward and designed for Kiwifruit. The fruit appearance, hardness, weight loss, total soluble solids, vitamin C, and cell structure of "Hayward" kiwifruit under 3 preservation conditions were observed to prove the validity of the method. The results showed that the fresh-keeping composite carton and packaging technology may maintain quality and extend shelf life "Hayward" kiwifruit, and the storage duration of "Hayward" kiwifruit is up to 60 days within the storage environment of temperature 5 ℃ and relative humidity 60%; so it is useful for storage and transportation of post-harvest kiwifruit in non-refrigeratory and non-controlled atmosphere storage.
