Book excerpt: In the last ten years there has been an exponential increase in the adoption of high-density farming, which leads to better yield and higher-quality fruits, thus improving the economic return. Handbook of Plum Fruit: Production, Postharvest Science, and Processing Technology covers all the recent advances in plum production, harvesting, handling and processing. Divided into two main parts, the first eight chapters provide insight about preharvest processing of plums, whereas the later chapters discuss the postharvest processing of plums. This book also includes vital chapters on varietal improvement and rootstock breeding, high-density planting, and pollination. After harvesting, plum quality quickly diminishes, mainly due to weight loss, total acidity, loss of firmness, and decay. Key Features: In-depth information on the pre- and postharvest processing of plums Coverage on plum harvesting, handling, and storage practices Plum by-product utilization and potential health benefits Handbook of Plum Fruit provides comprehensive information on recent advances in postharvesting technologies of plum. The health benefits of plum and its products are also addressed. This book will assist horticulturists, agriculturists, pomologists, food scientists and others working in various fruit-processing industries.

Download or read book Handbook of Fruit Set and Development written by Shaul. P Monselise and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different phases of fruit development and utilization have been treated in many textbooks, reviews, and a host of scientific and professional papers. This seems, however, to be the first attempt to bring together case histories of so many different fruits and to present a balanced account of the whole period from set to harvest. Postharvest physiology, which has been in the centre of the picture in many former books, is at the bored line of the subject matter of this book, and has not been fully covered, except in a few cases. For this reason, two separate chapters deal with physiological and pathological aspects of fruit life after harvest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plum Tree Guide for Beginners Plums, derived from these trees, hold substantial nutritional value, brimming with vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Whether consumed fresh, dried into prunes, or used in culinary creations, these fruits offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. Their versatility in recipes, from jams and pies to savory dishes and beverages, adds depth and richness to cuisines worldwide. Plum trees have embedded themselves within cultural symbolism across numerous societies. They often symbolize renewal, vitality, and abundance. In various cultures, plums are celebrated in rituals, art, literature, and festivals, carrying symbolic meanings tied to longevity, good fortune, and even artistic inspiration. Beyond their fruits, plum trees exhibit stunning ornamental qualities. Their blossoms, adorning the branches in spring with hues ranging from delicate white to vibrant pink, make them prized ornamentals in gardens, parks, and landscapes. These trees contribute to the aesthetic appeal of environments, attracting pollinators and enhancing the beauty of the natural surroundings. Commercially, plum cultivation forms a significant aspect of the agricultural sector in many regions. The production and sale of plums and plum-related products contribute to local economies, providing employment opportunities and supporting the agricultural industry. Additionally, plum trees often serve as part of agroforestry systems, offering benefits such as erosion control and biodiversity enhancement. Plum trees play a role in environmental conservation and ecosystem health. As deciduous trees, they contribute to carbon sequestration, improving air quality and mitigating the effects of climate change. Moreover, these trees provide habitats and food sources for various wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals, contributing to biodiversity preservation. Apart from their culinary uses, plums and their derivatives, like prunes, hold medicinal value. They aid in digestive health, containing compounds that support gut health and regulate digestion. Prunes, specifically, are known for their potential to alleviate constipation and promote overall digestive wellness. The importance and uses of plum trees encompass a broad spectrum, from their nutritional and cultural significance to their role in horticulture, economics, ecology, and health. Beyond the delectable fruits they bear, these trees weave themselves intricately into the fabric of human existence, offering sustenance, beauty, and multifaceted contributions to our lives and the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner — IACP 2019 Reference & Technical Cookbook Award From apples and oranges to pawpaws and persimmons "Sara Bir’s voice is quirky, informed, and fresh. The Fruit Forager’s Companion will push any soul who is interested in foraging into the curious world of fruits. . . . You want someone with passion and appetite to lead you on a foraging quest, and Sara has plenty of both."—Deborah Madison, author of Vegetable Literacy and In My Kitchen Half of the fruit that grows in yards and public spaces is never picked or eaten. Citrus trees are burdened with misshapen lemons, berries grow in tangled thickets on the roadside, and the crooked rows of abandoned orchards fill with fallen apples. At the same time, people yearn for an emotional connection that’s lacking in bland grocery store bananas and tasteless melons. The Fruit Forager’s Companion is a how-to guide with nearly 100 recipes devoted to the secret, sweet bounty just outside our front doors and ripe for the taking, from familiar apples and oranges to lesser-known pawpaws and mayhaws. Sara Bir—a seasoned chef, gardener, and forager—primes readers on foraging basics, demonstrates gathering and preservation techniques, and presents a suite of recipes including habanero crabapple jelly, lime pickle, pawpaw lemon curd, and fermented cranberry relish. Bir encourages readers to reconnect with nature and believes once the foraging mindset takes control, a new culinary world hiding in plain sight will reveal itself. Written in a witty and welcoming style, The Fruit Forager’s Companion is a must-have for seekers of both flavor and fun.
