The aim of this volume is to
provide the scientific community with an accurate and up-to-date information
in the field of postharvest handling and technology. The book highlights the
achievements in minimizing the postharvest loss, and provides information on
postharvest technology, physiological changes, storage problems and
processing aspects.
The book will stimulate researchers and
students alike with information to identify and solve problems related to
postharvest quality and familiarize themselves with techniques used before,
during and after the storage of a wide range of commodities grown under
different environmental conditions.
