This book was released on 1998 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation and storage of fresh fruit and vegetables is an international operation for which the available technology must be used to ensure that produce reaches the consumer in the best possible condition. The use of controlled atmospheric conditions, as a way of reducing the use of chemical preservatives and pesticides, has great potential for the reduction of postharvest losses and the maintenance of nutritive value and organoleptic characteristics. The proper application of controlled atmosphere storage is likely to have as great an impact as the introduction of refrigeration technology a century earlier, yet its potential is only just becoming appreciated, despite its use for apples for many years. In this book, the author reviews and condenses the large amount of research on controlled atmosphere storage, going back more than 80 years, in order to provide the most comprehensive reference source on this topic. It traces the history of the technique and the range of conditions currently in use for different fruit and vegetables, and their effect on flavor, quality and physiology. The influence of pests and diseases, environmental factors such as mixtures of gases, and packaging are then described and the recommended controlled atmosphere conditions for a wide range of crops is provided. This book is essential reading for horticultural researchers and food industry staff concerned with transportation, storage and quality. In addition, it is a valuable reference source for students of horticulture, agriculture, engineering, food science and technology, and food marketing, as well as regulatory bodies and consumer groups.

Download or read book Fruit and Vegetable Storage written by Anthony Keith Thompson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief reviews the effects of increasing and reducing atmospheric pressure on the postharvest life of fruit and vegetables. The text covers the common methods and technologies used and evaluates the history and benefits of hypobaric and hyperbaric storage. Both of these techniques have the potential to address quantitative and qualitative challenges in the postharvest sector of the fresh fruit and vegetables industry. Hypobaric and Hyperbaric Storage of Fruit and Vegetables reports on the effects of storage on over 45 types of fruit and vegetables, as well as on whole plants and cut flowers. As consumer demand for high quality product increases, proper postharvest storage will continue to gain in importance. The environmental conditions used in storage have a vital influence on the quality, safety and health benefits of fruit and vegetables.

This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 14 chapters focusing on the usefulness of controlled atmosphere (CA) storage in the reduction of postharvest losses and maintenance of the nutritive value and organoleptic characteristics of various fruits and vegetables and extend their season of availability by making good eating quality fruits and vegetables available for extended periods at reasonable costs. The efficacy and shortcomings of various CA storage techniques and their potential as alternatives to the application of preservation and pesticide chemicals are also discussed.
Download or read book Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Fruits and Vegetables written by A. Keith Thompson and published by CABI Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the history and current technology reported and used in controlled atmosphere (CA) storage and modified atmosphere (MA) packaging, and its applicability and restrictions for use in a variety of crops in different situations. An introduction to the history of CA storage (chapter 1) is provided. Other subjects discussed are presented under the following headings: effects and interactions of CA storage (chapter 2); CA technology (chapter 3); harvest and preharvest factors (chapter 4); pre-storage treatments (chapter 5); flavour, quality and physiology (chapter 6); pests and diseases (chapter 7); modified atmosphere packaging (chapter 8); recommended CA storage conditions for selected crops (chapter 9); and CA transport technology (chapter 10). This book provides an easily accessible reference source for those studying agriculture, horticulture, food science and technology, and food marketing. It will also be useful to researchers in this area, giving an overview of our present knowledge of CA storage, which will indicate areas where there is a need for further research.

This book was released on 2009-03-11 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modified atmosphere (MA) and controlled atmosphere (CA) technologies have great potential in a wide range of applications. The increasingly global nature of food production and the increased emphasis on reducing chemical preservatives and pesticides have put the spotlight on these centuries-old technologies. Yet until now, there have been very few
Download or read book Cold and Chilled Storage Technology written by C.V.J. Dellino and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Cold and Chilled Storage Technology was prepared at a time when great changes were taking place in the industry that were hard to put into clear perspective. For example, the CFClozone layer problem was identified, the Montreal Protocol was signed and experts from many disci plines were already proposing 'solutions' to the problems seen at the time. Not only were there the usual differences in approach to the problems, there were different understandings of the problems themselves. For in stance, some authoritative voices were saying HCFC 22 was 'part of the solution, not part of the problem' and recommending it as the main refrig erant for the future, others said the opposite. As editor, I have taken the view that this should be a 'reference book' and, as such, it should contain information that points in the direction of tried and proven good practice. To avoid the risk of misdirecting readers, I decided that the CFC issue was too unclear to be usefully discussed in the first edition and left it out altogether. This was the main criticism of the first edition at the time of its publication but, in view of the developments since then, I stand by my decision to avoid premature comment in that instance. The matter is discussed in this edition in Chapters 4 and 7, which include summaries of other related factors, in a way that was certainly not possible in 1989.
