Postharvest Physiology and Biochemistry of Fruits and Vegetables presents
an updated, interrelated and sequenced view of the contribution of
fruits and vegetables on human health, their aspects of plant
metabolism, physical and chemical/compositional changes during the
entire fruit development lifecycle, the physiological disorders and
biochemical effects of modified/controlled atmospheres, and the
biotechnology of horticultural crops. The book is written specifically
for those interested in preharvest and postharvest crop science and the
impact of physiological and biochemical changes on their roles as
functional foods.
- Deals with the developmental aspects of the lifecycle in whole fruits
- Describes
issues, such as the morphology and anatomy of fruits, beginning with
the structural organization of the whole plant and explaining the fruit
structure and its botanical classification
- Addresses biotechnological concepts that control firmness, quality and the nutritional value of fruits
