The invention provides a method for fresh keeping of guava fruits by 
film coating with rhizoma kaempferiae 
essential oil, rhizoma alpiniae officinarum 
essential oil and fresh ginger 
essential oil. According to the method disclosed by the invention, various substances having 
antibacterial activity, such as the rhizoma kaempferiae essential oil, the rhizoma alpiniae officinarum essential oil, the fresh ginger essential oil, and 
chitosan are used as fresh keeping agents. The method comprises the following steps of selecting fruits, performing disinfection, performing 
air drying for the first time, performing 
film coating, performing 
air drying for the second time, and performing packaging. The substances having 
antibacterial activity, such as the rhizoma kaempferiae essential oil, the rhizoma alpiniae officinarum essential oil, the fresh ginger essential oil and the 
chitosan are merged, so that films compounded from the rhizoma kaempferiae essential oil, the rhizoma alpiniae officinarum essential oil, the fresh ginger essential oil and the 
chitosan have obvious fresh-keeping effects on storage of picked guava fruits, and changes of mouth feel and 
flavor of the picked guava fruits can be notably delayed. 
Respiration peak can be delayed, the increment of the content of 
propanedial can be notably restrained, and the rise of relative electrical 
conductivity and the rise of 
polyphenol oxidase activity can be notably restrained, so that the fresh-keeping time is greatly prolonged. The method is simple and convenient, materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, and the method is easy to popularize.
