While products such as bananas, pineapples, kiwifruit and citrus
have long been available to consumers in temperate zones, new
fruits such as lychee, longan, carambola, and mangosteen are now
also entering the market. Confirmation of the health benefits of
tropical and subtropical fruit may also promote consumption
further. Tropical and subtropical fruits are particularly
vulnerable to postharvest losses, and are also transported long
distances for sale. Therefore maximising their quality postharvest
is essential and there have been many recent advances in this area.
Many tropical fruits are processed further into purees, juices and
other value-added products, so quality optimisation of processed
products is also important. The books cover current
state-of-the-art and emerging post-harvest and processing
technologies. Volume 1 contains chapters on particular production
stages and issues, whereas Volumes 2, 3 and 4 contain chapters
focused on particular fruit.
Chapters in Volume 4 review the factors affecting the quality of
different tropical and subtropical fruits from mangosteen to white
sapote. Important issues relevant to each product are discussed,
including means of maintaining quality and minimising losses
postharvest, recommended storage and transport conditions and
processing methods, among other topics.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, Volume 4 of Postharvest biology and technology of
tropical and subtropical fruits, along with the other volumes in
the collection, are essential references both for professionals
involved in the postharvest handling and processing of tropical and
subtropical fruits and for academics and researchers working in the
area.
