Understanding postharvest technology -- Postharvest losses -- Postharvest storage -- Postharvest packaging -- Machines used for postharvest handling.

Summary: "Postharvest handling is an important stage in agriculture. It is the stage of crop production that follows the stage of harvesting and includes the processes of cooling, sorting, cleaning and packing. A crop starts to deteriorate once it is separated from its parent plant. To maintain its quality for consumption or sale, an effective postharvest handling regime needs to be designed. This involves preventing moisture loss, slowing down chemical changes, keeping the product cool and delaying spoilage. Sanitation is also an important aspect of this process. This textbook provides comprehensive insights into the field of postharvest handling and technology. It elucidates new techniques and applications of postharvest handling and technology in a multidisciplinary approach. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook."--Back cover
