Book Description
Focusing on new technological interventions involved in the postharvest management of fruits, this volume looks at the research on
maintaining the quality of fruits from farm to table. The volume examines the factors that contribute to shortening shelf life as well as
innovative solutions to maintaining quality while increasing the length of time fruit remains fresh, nutritious, and edible.

The volume considers the different needs of the diversity of fruits and covers a variety of important topics, including:

• factors affecting the postharvest quality of fruits

• microbial spoilage
• decontamination of fruits by non-thermal technologies
• new kinds of packaging and edible coatings
• ozone as shelf-life extender of fruits.

Emerging Technologies for Shelf-Life Enhancement of Fruits considers the fundamental issues and will be an important reference on
shelf-life extension of fruits. Highlighting the trends in future research and development, it will provide food technologists, food
engineers, and food industry professionals with new insight for prolonging the shelf life of fruits.
