Abstract
The toona sinensis (or Chinese toon) in rich in nutrition, with unique aroma and broad prospects for use. However, the toona sinensis is prone to respiration after being harvested. As a heat-sensitive vegetable, it is easy to lose water and decay. This paper introduced the latest research progress on physical preservation of toona sinensis before and during storage, providing references for developing new technologies of keeping Chinese toon fresh.

Summary
A perennial deciduous tree of Meliaceae, is categorized as woody vegetable that is unique in China. At temperature higher than 10°C, it is easy to deteriorate, defoliate and rot [2], with changes or even disappearance of its original flavor. When it is left at room temperature for about 6 days, it loses almost all its edible values [3]. There have been researches on the preservation of toona sinensis. Compared with chemical and biological preservation, physical preservation of toona sinensis features accessibility, efficiency and no chemical residue, and has attracted attention from a growing number of researchers. This paper presented the latest progress on physical preservation of toona sinensis, laying foundation for further technical promotion and application
