The volume presents existing and novel management approaches that
are in use or have a great potential to be used to maintain the
postharvest quality of fresh produce in terms of microbiological
safety, nutrition, and sensory quality. In comparison to
traditional synthetic chemicals, these eco-friendly molecules are
equally effective with respect to slowing the physiological and
biochemical changes in harvested produce. Application of terpenic
compounds, phenolic compounds, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonates,
hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, sulphur compounds, polyamines, plant
growth regulators, active carbohydrates, ozone, hexanal and nitric
oxide have been proven effective in minimizing storage disorders
like chilling injury, scald, fungal diseases like stem-end rot,
blue mould rot, green mould rot, anthracnose, regulation of
ripening and senescence, etc. This book will be a standard
reference work for the management of shelf life in the fresh
produce industry.
