Fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables have an excellent safety
record. However, surveillance data from the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and recent foodborne illness
outbreaks have demonstrated that the incidence of foodborne
illnesses linked to the consumption of contaminated fresh fruit and
vegetable products may in fact be more prevalent than previously
thought. U.S. FDA and USDA microbiological surveys of domestic and
imported fresh fruits and vegetables demonstrate that human
pathogens are sporadically found to be associated with fresh
produce. In addition to increased safety concerns, microbial
spoilage represents a significant source of waste for growers,
packers, retailers, and consumers. Microbiology of Fruits and
Vegetables reviews the extensive research that has been conducted
on microbiological problems relating to the safety and spoilage of
fruits and vegetables in recent years. It considers incidences of
human pathogen contamination, sources of microbial contamination,
microbial attachment to produce surfaces, intractable spoilage
problems, efficacy of sanitizing treatments for fresh produce,
novel interventions for produce disinfection, and methodology for
microbiological evaluation of fruits and vegetables. The text is
divided into five sections: (I) contamination and state of
microflora on fruits and vegetables (II) microbial spoilage of
fruits and vegetables (III) food safety issues (IV) interventions
to reduce spoilage and risk of foodborne illness (V)
microbiological evaluation of fruits and vegetables. In
Microbiology of Fruits and Vegetables, the editors, three leaders
in the field, have endeavored to present a comprehensive
examination, focusing on issues needing coverage, rather than
attempting an encyclopedic compilation. They have selected chapter
authors who are active researchers in their respective fields and
thus bring a working knowledge of current issues, industry
practices, and advances in technology.
