Описание: This edited volume provides insight into temperate fruits, with an emphasis on postharvest physiology, storage, packaging and technologies for maintaining fruit quality. Chapters are devoted to individual fruits and focus on fundamental issues such as methods for maintaining or enhancing quality, minimizing postharvest losses, and recommended technologies to boost demand. Contributions come from experts in the field, making this a key reference for all aspects of postharvest management of temperate fruits.The volume is unique in its focus on the biodiversity, nutritional and health benefits, and postharvest technologies for shelf life enhancement of temperate fruits. Contributing authors address the postharvest biology and technology of individual temperate fruits such as plum, cherry, peach, apricot, apple, pear, quince, loquat, kiwi, persimmon and berries. There has been tremendous growth in the research and development of new techniques to maintain the quality of temperate fruits from farm to table. Contributions from experts in the field cover these recent advances, providing up-to-date and relevant information for researchers, postharvest/fruit technologists, food scientists, postgraduate students, and others working in the industry.

Описание:
Introduction.- Factors Affecting Postharvest Quality of Fresh Fruits.- Factors Affecting Marketing of Fruits.- Growing Areas and Harvesting Season of Commercially Important Fruits.- Commercial Quality of Fruits: Part I.- Commercial quality: Part II.- Preparation of Fruits for the Market.- Packaging of Fresh Fruits.- Storage of Fresh Fruits.- Prevailing Marketing Channels and Marketing Systems.- Supply Chain and Marketing Channels of Fruits.- Mode of Transportation of Fresh Produce.- Commercial Quality Assessment of Important Fruits.- Non-destructive Quality Analysis of Fruits.
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
Postharvest Physiology and Biochemistry of Fruits and Vegetables presents an updated, interrelated and sequenced view of the contribution of fruits and vegetables on human health, their aspects of plant metabolism, physical and chemical/compositional changes during the entire fruit development lifecycle, the physiological disorders and biochemical effects of modified/controlled atmospheres, and the biotechnology of horticultural crops. The book is written specifically for those interested in preharvest and postharvest crop science and the impact of physiological and biochemical changes on their roles as functional foods.
Deals with the developmental aspects of the lifecycle in whole fruits
Describes issues, such as the morphology and anatomy of fruits, beginning with the structural organization of the whole plant and explaining the fruit structure and its botanical classification
Addresses biotechnological concepts that control firmness, quality and the nutritional value of fruits
