Basil ( L.) is a popular specialty crop known for its use as a culinary herb and medicinal plant around the world. However, its profitability and availability are limited by a short postharvest shelf life due to poor handling, cold sensitivity and microbial contamination. Here, we comprehensively review the research on pre- and postharvest techniques that extend the shelf life of basil to serve as a practical tool for growers, distributors, retailers and scientists. Modifications to postharvest storage conditions, pre- and postharvest treatments, harvest time and preharvest production methods have been found to directly impact the quality of basil and its shelf life. The most effective strategies for extending the shelf life and improving the quality of basil are discussed and promising strategies that research and industry employ are identified.
罗勒（唇形科罗勒属）是一种广受欢迎的特色作物，在全球范围内作为烹饪香草和药用植物而闻名。然而，由于处理不当、对低温敏感以及微生物污染，其采后货架期较短，这限制了它的盈利能力和可得性。在此，我们全面综述了关于延长罗勒货架期的采前和采后技术的研究，以为种植者、经销商、零售商和科学家提供一个实用工具。已发现采后储存条件、采前和采后处理、收获时间以及采前生产方法的改变会直接影响罗勒的品质及其货架期。本文讨论了延长罗勒货架期和提高其品质的最有效策略，并确定了研究和行业所采用的有前景的策略。
