Advances in Postharvest Fruit and Vegetable Technology examines how
changes in community attitudes and associated pressures on industry
are demanding changes in the way technology is used to minimize
postharvest loss and maintain product quality. In particular, the
book discusses important drivers for change, including: Using more
natural chemicals or physical treatments to replace synthetic
chemicals Increasing the efficiency of older, more traditional
methods in combination with newer biocontrol treatments Leveraging
a range of biomolecular research tools or "omics" to efficiently
gather and assess mass information at molecular, enzymic, and
genetic levels Using modelling systems to identify key changes and
control points for better targeting of new treatments and solutions
to postharvest problems The postharvest handling of fresh fruits
and vegetables plays a critical role in facilitating a continuous
supply of high-quality fresh produce to the consumer. Many new
technologies developed and refined in recent years continue to make
possible an ever-expanding supply of fresh products. This volume
examines a range of recently developed technologies and systems
that will help the horticulture industry to become more
environmentally sustainable and economically competitive, and to
minimize postharvest quality loss and generate products that are
appealing and acceptable to consumers.
