Postharvest Biology and Technology is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research of horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, grapes, flowers, tea and nuts, but excluding grains, …
Postharvest technology comprises different methods of harvesting, packaging, rapid cooling, storage under refrigeration as well as modified (MA) and controlled (CA) atmospheres and transportation under controlled conditions, among other important technologies.
Apr 13, 2022 · Post-harvest losses lower farm productivity and push farmers into a cycle of needing to expand into new ecosystems, with subsequent damage to biodiversity and the ecological balance.
Dec 5, 2022 · Optimal postharvest handling, including storage time and temperature management, relative humidity, chemical and/or physical treatments, and packaging (i.e., a modified atmosphere) can slow down the biological processes caused by senescence and maturation, reduce or inhibit the development of physiological disorders, and minimize microbial ...
Post harvest loss reduction technology encompasses the usage of optimum harvest factors, reduction of losses in handling, packaging, transportation and storage with modern infrastructure machinery, processing into a wide variety of products, home scale preservation with low cost technology.
Apr 28, 2022 · Postharvest management of food crops is an important part of food safety and security across the supply chain. It includes processing of agricultural produce, storage, packaging and coating, postharvest disease management, extending shelf life, and maintaining food quality and safety.
Nov 28, 2019 · In this chapter, we summarize the conventional and modern postharvest technologies of different agronomic crops used in various countries, the causes and status of postharvest losses, and the technological intervention to mitigate these losses. Download chapter PDF.
Dec 5, 2022 · The present review paper has grouped original studies within the topic of advanced postharvest technologies, to preserve quality and reduce losses and waste in fresh produce.
Oct 12, 2020 · Reducing postharvest losses (PHLs) of food crops is a critical component of sustainably increasing agricultural productivity. Many PHL reduction interventions have been tested, but synthesized...
This module will provide you with an overview of the issue of postharvest loss (PHL) and how this impacts global food security and sustainability. It will also define the postharvest supply chain.
