In order to reduce the post harvest respiration intensity of fresh corn, slow down the loss of nutrients, and maintain its sensory and taste quality, the influencing factors of post harvest quality changes of fresh corn was summarized and analyzed, and the application of physical preservation, chemical preservation, and biological preservation technologies were explored. The factors that affect the post harvest preservation of fresh corn include variety, pests and diseases, temperature and humidity, and surrounding gases. The physical preservation techniques for fresh corn including low temperature, modified atmosphere, packaging, irradiation, and ozone. Chemical preservation techniques including coating, acidic calcium sulfate treatment, etc. Biological preservation technology including bamboo leaf extract, oil peony bark extract, and composite biological preservatives. The research results provided a reference for post harvest storage and preservation of fresh corn.
