Quality Assurance of Postharvest Stored Products Fernando Plath

The main objective of postharvest treatment is to determine and maintain quality of the crop and to ensure its availability for future consumption. Once harvested, crops are subjected to various processes to assure fine quality of postharvest stored products. Postharvest handling prevents crop from deteriorating by using different techniques. The book provides an overarching account of current technologies to enhance shelf life of crops and to maintain their quality during storage, packing and transportation. It includes applications of postharvest physiology and is a great pick for students and researchers engaged in this field.
