Postharvest Physiology and Pathology of Vegetables, Second Edition, (Food Science and Technology)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This text will fill the need of the same readership envisaged of the first edition but in particular it should find a place in universities, research laboratories and the vegetable industry. [It] contains information on virtually every aspect of this important field of food production. It is well indexed and … all the information required resides within each chapter. In fact, the numerous complete and informative tables and charts make this book an extremely useful reference text that is worth owning for this reason alone. Seldom if ever does one find so much useful, practical information contained in tabular and/or graphical format in one single textbook." - Food Technology in New Zealand, Vol. 39, NO. 5, June 2004 Promo Copy
Book Description
Focusing exclusively on postharvest vegetable studies, this book covers advances in biochemistry, plant physiology, and molecular physiology to maximize vegetable quality. The book reviews the principles of harvest and storage; factors affecting postharvest physiology, calcium nutrition and irrigation control; product quality changes during handling and storage; technologies to improve quality; spoilage factors and biocontrol methods; and storage characteristics of produce by category. It covers changes in sensory quality such as color, texture, and flavor after harvest and how biotechnology is being used to improve postharvest quality.
