Abstract:Litchi is native to China， the planting area and yield of China litchi are the highest in the world， that known as the 'south China four fruits' with banana， pineapple and longan. However， the harvesting time and storage time for litchi are short， and the litchi is prone to brown and easily get to corrupt after harvesting. All these limitations has seriously restrict the further development of litchi industry in China. This paper briefly in－ troduced the current situation of the development of Chinese litchi industry. The application and latest advances of quick frozen technologies for litchis storage were also reviewed， including raw materials selection， pretreat－ ment， freezing， frozen storage and thawing process. Until now， the immersion quick-frozen technique was the most feasible way for quick frozen of litchi. Finally， the further development for quick-frozen of litchis were prospected.
