Abstract: The work aims to prevent the chilling injury in the storage period of Qinshu No. 5 sweet potato, extend the storage period and maintained the good quality after storage. This experiment measured the main nutrient composition of Qinshu No.5 sweet potato, also probed into the changes of the activities of amylase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), polygalacturonase (PG) and the contents of reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, starch, protopectin with low temperature (2, 4 and 6 ℃) conditioning treatment before storage. It also investigated the percentage of commercial fruits and evaluated the sensory properties after storage. The results showed that, low temperature conditioning treatment of Qinshu No.5 sweet potato could effectively inhibit the activities of amylase and polygalacturonase, make the activity of superoxide dismutase at a high level, and slow down the decreasing rate of the contents of ascorbic acid, starch and propectin. Additionally, it could prevent starch from converting to reducing sugar and delay the physiological senescence process after harvest. This study shows that, after 4 ℃ treatment for 2 days before storage and 210 days′ storage at 11 ℃, the commercial fruit rate of Qinshu No.5 sweet potato was 90% and has good quality.
