Tropical and subtropical fruits are popular products, but are often
highly perishable and need to be transported long distances for
sale. The four volumes of Postharvest biology and technology of
tropical fruits review essential aspects of postharvest biology,
postharvest technologies, handling and processing technologies for
both well-known and lesser-known fruits. Volume 1 contains chapters
on general topics and issues, while Volumes 2, 3 and 4 contain
chapters focused on individual fruits, organised alphabetically.
Volume 1 provides an overview of key factors associated with the
postharvest quality of tropical and subtropical fruits. Two
introductory chapters cover the economic importance of these crops
and their nutritional benefits. Chapters reviewing the postharvest
biology of tropical and subtropical fruits and the impact of
preharvest conditions, harvest circumstances and postharvest
technologies on quality follow. Further authors review
microbiological safety, the control of decay and quarantine pests
and the role of biotechnology in the improvement of produce of this
type. Two chapters on the processing of tropical and subtropical
fruit complete the volume.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, Volume 1 of Postharvest biology and technology of
tropical and subtropical fruits, along with the other volumes in
the collection, will be an essential reference both for
professionals involved in the postharvest handling and processing
of tropical and subtropical fruits and for academics and
researchers working in the area.
