Description
Postharvest Handling: A Systems Approach introduces a new concept in the handling of fresh fruits and vegetable. Traditional treatments
have been either physiologically based with an emphasis on biological tissue or technologically based with an emphasis on storage and
handling. This book integrates all processes from production practices through consumer consumption with an emphasis on understanding
market forces and providing fresh product that meets consumer expectations. Postharvest physiologists and technologists across the disciplines
of agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, food science and horticulture along with handlers of minially-processed products
within the fresh produce fruit and vegetable processing industries will find this to be an invaluable source of information.
Audience
Postharvest physiologists or technologists across the disciplines of agricultural economics, agricultural endgineering, food sciences,
and horticultural along with handlers of fresh or minimaly processed products within the fresh produce processing industries will find
this to be an invaluable source of information.
