Description : Postharvest fruit and vegetable technologies comprise methods and techniques used to maintain quality, extend shelf life, and reduce losses of produce after harvest. These include controlled atmosphere storage, refrigeration, packaging, ripening control, and treatments to prevent spoilage, diseases, and mechanical damage during storage and transport. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) uses customized gas compositions within packaging materials to extend freshness. Non-chemical treatments such as Ultraviolet (UV) light and ozone provide safer alternatives to chemical preservatives, reducing spoilage and microbial growth. Smart packaging, embedded with sensors, monitors and provides real-time data on temperature, humidity, and gas levels, ensuring quality control throughout the supply chain. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core concepts of post-harvest technologies. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with postharvest technology will benefit alike from this book.
