This book presents a selection of innovative postharvest management practices for vegetables. It covers technologies in harvesting, handling, and storage of vegetables, including strategies for low-temperature storage of vegetables, active and smart packaging of vegetables, edible coatings, application of nanotechnology in postharvest technology of vegetable crops, and more. It considers most of the important areas of vegetable processing while maintaining nutritional quality and addressing safety issues. Fruits and vegetables are important sources of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, which provide many health benefits. However, due to poor postharvest management—such as non-availability of cold chain management and low-cost processing facilities, large quantities of vegetables perish before they reach the consumer. Furthermore, higher temperatures in some regions also contribute to an increased level of postharvest losses. With chapters written by experts in the postharvest handling of vegetable, this volume addresses these challenges. It is devoted to presenting both new and innovative technologies as well as advancements in traditional technologies.

Advances in Postharvest Fruit and Vegetable Technology examines how changes in community attitudes and associated pressures on industry are demanding changes in the way technology is used to minimize postharvest loss and maintain product quality. In particular, the book discusses important drivers for change, including: Using more natural chemicals or physical treatments to replace synthetic chemicals Increasing the efficiency of older, more traditional methods in combination with newer biocontrol treatments Leveraging a range of biomolecular research tools or "omics" to efficiently gather and assess mass information at molecular, enzymic, and genetic levels Using modelling systems to identify key changes and control points for better targeting of new treatments and solutions to postharvest problems The postharvest handling of fresh fruits and vegetables plays a critical role in facilitating a continuous supply of high-quality fresh produce to the consumer. Many new technologies developed and refined in recent years continue to make possible an ever-expanding supply of fresh products. This volume examines a range of recently developed technologies and systems that will help the horticulture industry to become more environmentally sustainable and economically competitive, and to minimize postharvest quality loss and generate products that are appealing and acceptable to consumers.

This second volume of Benkeblia s series on Advances in Postharvest Technology for Horticultural Crops again brings together a number of valuable contributions on important postharvest topics. Two major themes are evident in the chapters; improvement of practices associated with storage and marketing, and preserving nutritive quality of fresh fruits and vegetables. Increasing transportation costs have shippers looking for ways to minimize quality loss through better container design and product preparation, and to implement technologies that could deliver the same quality using less expensive (i.e., slower) modes of transport. Contributions to this book also discuss how quality loss during transport and marketing could be minimized through the use of modified atmosphere packaging or the use of essential oils to manage postharvest diseases. While quality and value are still major concerns, consumers are increasingly paying attention to the contribution that fresh fruits and vegetables provide to the nutritive value of their diet. The nutritional label on canned and processed food contains information that growing numbers of consumers use to make healthy choices. The lack of similar nutritional information on fresh horticultural commodities should be rectified to increase consumer awareness and interest in including fresh fruits and vegetables in a healthful diet. However, the inherent variability in nutritional components among cultivars and their alteration cause by different handling, storage and transportation practices may require that a generic label for a group of commodities (e.g., apples, tomatoes) be so imprecise as to be almost worthless. Additional research is needed to study the effects that postharvest technologies have on maintaining or altering the nutritional value of fresh fruits and vegetables. Another area that has become of major concern to the public is food safety and traceability. Both are interrelated because without knowledge of the path tainted food has taken from the field to the consumer, it is extremely difficult to identify the source of the contamination, contain the current outbreak, and prevent future occurrences. Reconstructing the circuitous route most food takes to our table would have been a daunting challenge before the advent of modern marketing technology. The integration of computers, RFID (Radio-frequency identification) tags, UPC (Universal Product Code), scanners in the check-out aisle and other technologies to capture, store and transmit the location of commodities as they move through the marketing chain is now a mandatory component of most large retail businesses. While everyone realizes that plants are alive since they grow in size and exhibit developmental changes (e.g., seed germination and fruit ripening), many consumers fail to appreciate that the harvested apples, tomatoes and roses they purchase are alive. They become perplexed when those high prices strawberries develop molds and soften in a few days, while that jar of strawberry preserves sitting along side the berries on the counter top lasts for weeks. An educational campaign by retailers to make consumers aware that harvested horticultural commodities are alive and need to be treated differently that canned goods would go a long way toward maintaining visual, taste, and nutritional quality by having consumers extend proper handling practices into the home.

The ultimate goal of crop production is to provide quality produce to consumers at reasonable rates. Most fresh produce is highly perishable, and postharvest losses are significant under the present methods of management in many countries. However, significant achievements have been made during the last few years to curtail postharvest losses in fresh produce and to ensure food security and safety as well. These include advancements in breeding horticultural crops for quality improvement; postharvest physiology; postharvest pathology and entomology; postharvest management of fruits, vegetables, and flowers; nondestructive technologies to assess produce quality; minimal processing of fruits and vegetables; as well as innovations in packaging and storage technology of fresh produce. This new book, Postharvest Biology and Technology of Horticultural Crops: Principles and Practices for Quality Maintenance, describes the above-mentioned advancements in postharvest quality improvement of fresh horticultural produce. This book will be a standard reference work for postharvest management for the fresh produce industry. It presents important new advances that will extend the shelf life of fresh produce by retaining its safety and nutritional or sensory quality. The book covers a multitude of topics, particularly advances in: - Conventional breeding approaches for fruits and vegetables - Storage of fruits and vegetables - Postharvest treatment and smart packaging - Management of pests and other postharvest diseases - Postharvest management of fresh-cut flowers - Management of medicinal and aromatic plants during postharvest - Biotechnological methods for postharvest management

Producers spend a great deal of money, natural resources (especially water and soil), labor, and time every year in order to feed the world’s population. However, almost one-third of the products produced as a result of all these efforts are lost before reaching consumers due to postharvest losses, which threaten both the food supply and agricultural sustainability. For this reason, it is extremely important to prevent postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables. In this context, this book provides general and new information about the physiology of postharvest losses and the latest technological developments in postharvest systems. Each chapter provides up-to-date information about the postharvest physiology and technology of fruits and vegetables for students, teachers, professors, scientists, farmers, food packers and sellers, and entrepreneurs engaged in the fresh food preservation industry.
