Currently, molecular hydrogen treatment has the potential to manage the Corona Virus disease (COVID-19) and pandemic based on its anti-inflammatory, apoptosis-resistance, antioxidant, and hormone-regulating properties. Antioxidant properties are beneficial in both animal and human diseases. In agricultural sciences, molecular hydrogen is used to postpone postharvest ripening and senescence in fruits. However, studies on flower senescence are limited to the application of hydrogen molecules during floral preharvest and postharvest. Fortunately, improved tools involving molecular hydrogen can potentially improve postharvest products and storage. We also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of molecular hydrogen in floral preharvest and postharvest. This review provides an overview of molecular hydrogen solutions for floral preservative storage.
