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. - Uses a systems approach that provides a unique perspective on the handling of fresh fruits and vegetables - Designed with the applied perspective to complement the more basic perspectives provided in other treatments - Provides the integrated, interdisciplinary perspective needed in research to improve the quality of fresh and minimally processed products - Emphasizes that the design of handling systems should be market-driven rather than concentrating on narrow specifics

Fresh fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals are composed of living tissues that experience continuous change after harvest.Some of these changes are desirable (e.g. development of sugars and improved texture during fruit ripening), while others are not (e.g. discoloration and loss of nutrients in fresh-cut vegetables). Senescence is the final stage in the development of plant organs, culminating in a series of irreversible events leading to cellular breakdown and death.These postharvest changes cannot be stopped, but they can be managed to maintain optimal quality longer. Maintaining recommended temperature and relative humidity, while minimizing wounding and microbial contamination, constitute the foundation of effective postharvest handling. The first chapter of this volume describes biological factors affecting these crops including respiration, rates of ethylene production, water loss, physical damage, and damage due to pathogens; environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, ethylene, and sunlight. Subsequent chapters explore the use of biotechnology to improve postharvest results, and postharvest handling operations for ornamentals and cut flowers; for fresh herbs; for fruit vegetables (e.g. cucurbits, tomatoes); for leafy and stem vegetables; and for underground vegetables (roots, tubers, bulbs). Handy, easy-to use tables and charts along with color photographs illustrate important points throughout. A comprehensive table summarizes storage recommendations for produce, a second table summarizes storage recommendations for cut flowers and greens. This is Volume 7 in Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops, 4th Edition
