Completely revised, updated and enlarged, now encompassing two
volumes, this third edition of Fruit and Vegetables reviews and
evaluates, in comprehensive detail, postharvest aspects of a very
wide international range of fresh fruit and vegetables as it
applies to their physiology, quality, technology, harvest maturity
determination, harvesting methods, packaging, postharvest
treatments, controlled atmosphere storage, ripening and
transportation. The new edition of this definitive work, which
contains many full colour photographs, and details of species not
covered in the previous editions, provides key practical and
commercially-oriented information of great use in helping to ensure
that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the retailer in optimum
condition, with the minimum of deterioration and spoilage. With the
constantly increasing experimental work throughout the world the
book incorporates salient advances in the context of current work,
as well as that dating back over a century, to give options to the
reader to choose what is most relevant to their situation and
needs. This is important because recommendations in the literature
are often conflicting; part of the evaluation of the published
results and reviews is to guide the reader to make suitable choices
through discussion of the reasons for diverse recommendations. Also
included is much more on the nutritional values of fruit and
vegetables, and how these may vary and change postharvest. There is
also additional information on the origin, domestication and
taxonomy of fruit and vegetables, putting recommendations in
context. Fruits and Vegetables 3e is essential reading for fruit
and vegetable technologists, food scientists and food
technologists, agricultural scientists, commercial growers,
shippers, packhouse operatives and personnel within packaging
companies. Researchers and upper level students in food science,
food technology, plant and agricultural sciences will find a great
deal of use within this popular book. All libraries in research
establishments and universities where these subjects are studied
and taught should have copies readily available for users.
