“…HVEF is a non-thermal, highly efficient, low energy consumption, no vestiges and low-cost physical preservation technology ( Huang et al, 2022 , Liu et al, 2017 ). It's considered that the external HVEF can affect the inherent electric field inside fruits and vegetables ( Zhang, Zhang, Law, & Guo, 2022 ), and ionize the air to produce unstable ozone, negative air ions and other active substances, which can eliminate ethylene, reduce the stomatal opening on the epidermis, impede the normal sugar metabolism of fruits and vegetables, and have excellent antibacterial or bactericidal effects ( Liu et al, 2017 , Lotfi et al, 2022 , Yan et al, 2020 , Zhang et al, 2022 ). In addition, HVEF treatment could regulate the antioxidant system and other metabolism pathways to maintain better storage quality in A. bisporus ( Yan et al, 2020 ), fresh-cut broccoli ( Kao, Tu, Sridhar, & Tsai, 2019 ), pomegranate ( Lotfi et al, 2022 ), persimmon ( Liu et al, 2017 ), pakchoi ( Zhang et al, 2022 ), fresh-cut cabbage and baby corn ( Huang, Yang, Sridhar, & Tsai, 2021 ).…”
