Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Fruits and Vegetables (CABI Publishing)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The transportation and storage of fresh fruit and vegetables is a global operation highly dependent on technology. Controlled atmosphere storage is a well known technique and important alternative to chemical preservatives and pesticides. It has great potential for reducing postharvest losses
and for maintaining both nutritional and market value. However, there is still no agreement in the food industry and among consumers as to its usefulness. This book reviews the large amount of literature on this topic, providing the most comprehensive reference on all aspects of controlled
atmosphere storage. It is essential reading for horticultural researchers and food industry staff concerned with transportation, storage and quality. The book will also interest regulatory bodies, consumer groups, and students of horticulture, agriculture, food science and technology, and food
marketing.
