Postharvest physiology and handling of perishable plant products.

This book focuses on the basic principles governing postharvest physiology, from the cellular and subcellular structure of harvested products to metabolic alterations and changes in biochemical constituents after harvest. The transient physical and biochemical state of perishable harvested products is emphasized throughout the text and environmental factors that modulate the rate of change are identified. Basic environmental factors causing stress after harvest, the principles of gas, solvent and solute movement within harvested products and exchanges with the external environment, and the principles of heat transfer and cooling are developed. This book should be of interest to plant physiologists, horticulturists, agronomists, growers, food and vegetable processors, and students in these fields.
