The work aims to review the research progress of application of film packaging materials and technology in the fresh-keeping packaging of fruit and vegetables. By means of analysis and summary of the research status and achievements at home and abroad, the film packaging technology and methods of fruit and vegetables were introduced. The research progress of application of commonly used plastics was summarized. The proposed technology could inhibit water evaporation of fruit and vegetables, microorganism invasion and respiration, and reduce withering, spoilage and nutrition loss, thus prolonging the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. Because of the advantages, such as extensive sources, simple operation and environmental friendliness, etc., the film packaging material had been widely applied in fruit and vegetable packaging. The best proportion of raw materials for packaging in the film with better comprehensive properties have been introduced, which makes the fruits and vegetables achieve the longest shelf life on the premise of ensuring the quality.
