The work aims to review the application progress of preservation technology in the persimmon preservation, discuss preservation effects of various preservation technologies, provide a reference for the research on postharvest preservation of persimmon and further prospect its research directions in China. Characteristics, postharvest physiological conditions, softening mechanisms of persimmon, and the application of physical, chemical and biological preservation in the preservation persimmon were introduced. The preservation technology had a good application prospect in the persimmon preservation field, which not only prolonged the storage time to achieve a better preservation effect, but also maintained the good quality of the persimmon. However, there were some shortcomings in cost, residue and promotion, which needed to be further optimized. The preservation technology plays an extremely important role in preservation of postharvest persimmon.
