The ultimate goal of crop production is to provide quality produce
to consumers at reasonable rates. Most fresh produce is highly
perishable, and postharvest losses are significant under the
present methods of management in many countries. However,
significant achievements have been made during the last few years
to curtail postharvest losses in fresh produce and to ensure food
security and safety as well. These include advancements in breeding
horticultural crops for quality improvement; postharvest
physiology; postharvest pathology and entomology; postharvest
management of fruits, vegetables, and flowers; nondestructive
technologies to assess produce quality; minimal processing of
fruits and vegetables; as well as innovations in packaging and
storage technology of fresh produce. This new book, Postharvest
Biology and Technology of Horticultural Crops: Principles and
Practices for Quality Maintenance, describes the above-mentioned
advancements in postharvest quality improvement of fresh
horticultural produce. This book will be a standard reference work
for postharvest management for the fresh produce industry. It
presents important new advances that will extend the shelf life of
fresh produce by retaining its safety and nutritional or sensory
quality. The book covers a multitude of topics, particularly
advances in: * Conventional breeding approaches for fruits and
vegetables * Storage of fruits and vegetables * Postharvest
treatment and smart packaging * Management of pests and other
postharvest diseases * Postharvest management of fresh-cut flowers
* Management of medicinal and aromatic plants during postharvest *
Biotechnological methods for postharvest management
