Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The post-harvest phase is vital in maintaining crop quality, nutritional value, and marketability. Understanding the physiological and biochemical changes that occur after harvest is key to reducing losses and extending shelf life. Integrative Approaches to Post-Harvest Physiology and Crop Shelf Life provides an in-depth analysis of storage conditions, packaging technologies, and preservation methods. The book explains respiration, ripening, and degradation processes, linking them to handling and distribution practices. It also highlights innovations in controlled atmosphere storage and bio-based coatings. By merging scientific research with industry applications, it equips food technologists and agricultural scientists with tools to enhance supply chain efficiency and food sustainability.
