The
book is a single source reference-cum-text book, offering
comprehensive coverage of the subject for agriculturists,
nutritionists, food scientists, food microbiologists,
food biochemists, horticulturists, fruit technologists,
fermentation technologists, and UG & PG students
of these disciplines. Spread over 31 chapters in 2
volumes, the book covers various methods of extending
the postharvest life of fruits and vegetables viz.,
storage, packaging, canning, chemical & low temperature
preservation, irradiation, fermentation and waste
management. It describes the concept, technology and
scope of postharvest technology especially in the
developing countries. Subject matter is described
right from the preliminary to the present level of
knowledge in a systematic manner including cultivars,
physiology, maturation, ripening etc. The sequence
of chapters is logically developed and the book is
well illustrated, describing the state-of-art technology.
The spoilage behaviour and methods of prevention of
the perishables, toxin production, safety, sensory,
quality assurance and vitamins, minerals, sugars,
pigments, tannis, flavourings and other aspects of
chemical composition of fruits and vegetables are
delineated. The book summarizes the role of biotechnology
in postharvest and illustrates how the processing
waste can be utilized or treated. The book also contains
a number of references for the readers to quench their
thirst.
