Eco-Friendly Technology for Postharvest Produce Quality

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Siddiqui Mohammed Wasim

Couverture de l’ouvrage Eco-Friendly Technology for Postharvest Produce Quality

Eco-Friendly Technology for Postharvest Produce Quality presents the scope of emerging eco-friendly technologies to maintain the postharvest quality of fresh produce in terms of safety and nutrition. The book covers an analysis of the alternative and traditional methodologies pointing out the significant advantage and limitations of each technique. It provides a standard reference work for the fresh produce industry in postharvest management to extend shelf life by ensuring safety first and then nutritional or sensory quality retention.

Fruits and vegetables are a huge portion of the food supply chain and are depended on globally for good health and nutrition. The supply of good food, however, greatly depends on good postharvest handling practices. Although substantial research has been carried out to preserve the quality of fresh horticultural produce, further research?especially on safety?is still required. This book provides foundational insights into current practices yielding best results for produce handling.
