Overview

There is little point in growing crops efficiently if much of their value is lost once harvested. This definitive work provides key practical and commercially-orientated information on the harvesting, packaging, transportation and storage of fruit and vegetables to ensure they reach the customer in optimum condition and with the minimum of loss or spoilage. Presenting crucial information in an accessible and objective way, Postharvest Technology of Fruit and Vegetables is an essential tool for produce technologists in supermarkets or food distributors, commercial fruit and vegetable growers, packaging companies, and researchers and students of agriculture, horticulture and food science.
