Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automation in agriculture is made possible by the integration of advanced agricultural technology and precision agriculture management. This book, uniquely, will focus on applications of automation to the important industry of tree fruit production. Written by experts in agricultural automation technology from around the world, chapters in this book cover topics such as automated tree fruit production systems, plant stress sensing and high-throughput phenotyping in precision horticulture, the economics of automation in tree fruit production, light interception sensing systems for canopy management, precision irrigation and water management, precision technologies for pest and disease management, opportunities for the application of robotics in tree fruit production, and the mechanical harvesting and handling of fruit crops. The book is a representative, concise overview of the variety of technologies currently being applied to tree fruit crops around the world and the challenges faced by engineers and farmers that these technologies raise. It is aimed at researchers and graduate students of agriculture systems, agricultural and biological engineering, crop and soil sciences, horticulture, precision agriculture, and other relevant disciplines. It will also be of use to agriculture consultants, engineers, and other professionals such as agricultural equipment manufacturers and management professionals who use precision agriculture technologies.

This book was released on 2014-10-12 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best practices for preserving quality and consumer appeal of fresh fruits, vegetables Clarifies calculations for efficient cooling, controlled ripening and storage Presents strategies for reducing microbial risks and post-harvest pathologies A comprehensive introduction to established and emergent post-harvest technologies, this text shows how to enhance the value of perishable fruits and vegetable by mitigating the causes of deterioration and spoilage from farm to point of purchase. After investigating the structural, chemical and nutritional properties of fruits and vegetables, the book provides a step-by-step explanation of processing from machine harvesting through handling, ripening technologies, packaging and distribution. Emphasis is placed on ways to collect data needed to monitor quality. Psychrometric principles and their role in cold storage systems are presented along with calculations enabling effective refrigeration and control of transpiration, humidity and gases. The book includes examples and calculations for improving process control and predicting the shelf-life of temperate-climate and tropical fruits and vegetables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this very well-received book, which in itsfirst edition was entitled Postharvest Technology of Fruits andVegetables, has been welcomed by the community of postharvestphysiologists and technologists who found the first edition of suchgreat use. The book covers, in comprehensive detail, postharvestphysiology as it applies to postharvest quality, technologyrelating to maturity determination, harvesting, packaging,postharvest treatments, controlled atmosphere storage, ripening andtransportation on a very wide international range of fruits andvegetables. The new edition of this definitive work, which contains manyfull colour photographs, provides key practical andcommercially-oriented information of great use in helping to ensurethat fruit and vegetables reach the retailer in optimum condition,with the minimum of loss and spoilage. Fruits and vegetables, 2nd edition is essential readingforfruit and vegetable technologists, food scientists and foodtechnologists, agricultural scientists, commercial growers,shippers and warehousing operatives and personnel within packagingcompanies. Researchers and upper level students in food science,food technology, plant and agricultural sciences will find a greatdeal of use within this landmark book. All libraries in researchestablishments and universities where these subjects are studiedand taught should have copies readily available for users. A. K. Thompson was formerly Professor and head of PostharvestTechnology, Silsoe College, UK.

Download or read book Integrated Processing Technologies for Food and Agricultural By Products written by Zhongli Pan and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-07-13 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeding our globally expanding population is one of the most critical challenges of our time and improving food and agricultural production efficiencies is a key factor in solving this problem. Currently, one-third of food produced for humans is wasted, and for every pound of food produced, roughly an equal amount of nonfood by-product is also generated, creating a significant environmental impact. In Integrated Processing Technologies for Food and Agricultural By-Products experts from around the world present latest developments, recognizing that while some by-products have found use as animal feed or are combusted for energy, new technologies which integrate conversion of production and processing by-products into higher-value food or nonfood products, nutraceuticals, chemicals, and energy resources will be a critical part of the transition to a more sustainable food system. Organized by agricultural crop, and focusing on those crops with maximum economic impact, each chapter describes technologies for value-added processing of by-products which can be integrated into current food production systems. Integrated Processing Technologies for Food and Agricultural By-Products is a valuable resource for industry professionals, academics, and policy-makers alike. - Provides production-through-processing coverage of key agricultural crops for a thorough understanding and translational inspiration - Describes and discusses major by-product sources, including physical and chemical biomass characterizations and associated variability in detail - Highlights conversions accomplished through physical, biological, chemical, or thermal methods and demonstrates examples of those technologies
