Abstract: Pelodiscus sinensis is a distinctive aquatic product in China, valued for its favorable sensory attributes and high nutritional quality, and is highly accepted by consumers. This paper focused on the research progress in key technologies for primary processing - mainly pretreatment procedures such as “slaughtering-skinning-opening shell-flavor removal” as well as key technologies for deep processing and the supporting equipment for related steps. The current development status of processing industry of Pelodiscus sinensis was systematically summarized and the deficiencies of supporting processing equipment in the current application were analyzed. The future development trend of the initial processing standardization, deep processing functionalization, and processing equipment automation and intelligence of Pelodiscus sinensis was further prospected, aiming to provide theoretical references and technical insights for the sustainable development of the industry of Pelodiscus sinensis.

Key words: Pelodiscus sinensis, primary processing technology, deep processing, processing equipment
