Objective To review researches on forced-air precooling of multi-packed fruits and put forward relevant problems . Methods The application background, working principles, advantages and significance of forced-air precooling technology for fresh foods were introduced, and both theoretical and experimental studies were summarized. Results Recent researches mainly focused on numerical modeling, cooling parameters and ventilation packaging design during forced-air cooling process,openings on the packages effected the airflow, heat and mass transfer greatly. Conclusion Future research efforts should be directed to develop a more systematic and reliable mathematical model and more accurate experimental verification technology.The optimization of airflow condition and packaging structure should balance the economic and mechanical strength factors.
