Pomegranate is a subtropical fruit and its arils contain a high concentration of sugars, organic acids, vitamins, polysaccharides, and essential minerals. In recent years its antioxidant properties and its effect against degenerative diseases have been claimed, which are attributed to their polyphenol content. Pomegranate, as other tropical and subtropical fruits are sensitive to low temperatures and develop a complex of physiological disorders known as “chilling injury”. The incidence of this physiopathy limits the application of cold storage, the most widely strategy employed for marketing the horticultural produce. Therefore the impact of chilling injury on the agro-food industry has serious economic consequences. In the present work, we provide the different postharvest technologies of an environmentally friendly nature assayed in research or applied in the agro-food industry with the aim of inhibiting or delaying the emergence of chilling injury in sensitive fruits such as pomegranate and the effects of these technologies on the content of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties.
