The 4th Edition of Postharvest Technology is being published as ten separate volumes, each covering a separate area of postharvest technology.
Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops, 4th Edition - Vegetable Crops, Herbs, and Flowers
This, volume 7 in the series, covers the postharvest factors that can affect the quality of produce. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals are composed of living tissues that experience continuous change after harvest. These postharvest changes cannot be stopped, but they can be managed to maintain optimal quality longer
Also covered are the biological factors affecting these crops; 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)
A comprehensive table summarizes storage recommendations for produce, a second table summarizes storage recommendations for cut flowers and greens.
