RESUMEN
|
Incorporating new research on the postharvest physiology of fruit, vegetables, and ornamentals, this textbook discusses a broad range of methods for preserving fresh produce from harvest to final purchase by the consumer. The new edition includes important advances in postharvest biology and changes in industry practices. It has been expanded to include ornamental produce and now places greater emphasis on handling and distribution issues relevant to developing countries. It includes eight pages of color photos and numerous new illustrations. |
