Consumer’s demand and commercial production for pomegranate has increased in the last decades due to their high nutritional value and unique sensory properties. In addition, pomegranate is a rich source of bioactive compounds and therefore its consumption provides many health benefits. In spite of the non-climacteric nature of the fruit, marketability and consumer acceptance is often limited by chilling injuries, cracks, husk scald and decay. In order to avoid these problems, different postharvest treatments have been used. These methods include heat treatments, modified atmosphere packaging, edible coating, chemical agents, and hurdle technology. Therefore, this review aims to summarize all the recent studies about the health benefits, economic value and effect of the different postharvest technologies used in whole pomegranate and pomegranate arils.
