A comprehensive introduction to traditional and emerging areas of post-harvest technology, this text investigates factors that cause deterioration in the post-harvest quality and enhance shelf-life of perishable produce. The book explains all major post-harvest storage and handling technologies for fruits and vegetables in their fresh state, and also covers MAP packaging. Psychrometric principles and their role in post-harvest storage are examined to understand moisture transfer phenomena in produce storage. This volume includes calculations for process control and shelf-life prediction. --
