Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical and sub-tropical fruits have gained significant importance in global commerce. This book examines recent developments in the area of fruit technology including: postharvest physiology and storage; novel processing technologies applied to fruits; and in-depth coverage on processing, packaging, and nutritional quality of tropical and sub-tropical fruits. This contemporary handbook uniquely presents current knowledge and practices in the value chain of tropical and subtropical fruits world-wide, covering production and post-harvest practices, innovative processing technologies, packaging, and quality management. Chapters are devoted to each major and minor tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, banana, papaya, date, guava, passion fruit, lychee, coconut, logan, carombola) and each citrus and non-citrus sub-tropical fruit (orange, grapefruit, lemon/lime, mandarin/tangerine, melons, avocado, kiwifruit, pomegranate, olive, fig, cherimoya, jackfruit, mangosteen). Topical coverage for each fruit is extensive, including: current storage and shipping practices; shelf life extension and quality; microbial issues and food safety aspects of fresh-cut products; processing operations such as grading, cleaning, size-reduction, blanching, filling, canning, freezing, and drying; and effects of processing on nutrients and bioavailability. With chapters compiled from experts worldwide, this book is an essential reference for all professionals in the fruit industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Tropical Gardening and Planting: With Special Reference to Ceylon The need for a practical work of this nature, especially adapted for the Tropics, has apparently been long felt, judging by the demand for information on the subjects treated in this handbook. Of books on horticulture in temperate countries, there is no end, but they are generally of little guidance in tropical regions, where the conditions of climate, labour and methods of working are so different. A writer in the Ceylon Observer recently remarked: "How much more attractive and interesting our bungalow gardens and compounds might be made if the right sort of information regarding their care were available. Too often they are tended only by the garden-cooly, who has no pretensions to any knowledge of gardening, and things which grow, do so more by luck than good management." The aim of the author has been, therefore, to supply as concisely as possible and in a manner to suit the practical man in the field or garden, the kind of information which is most generally sought for, not only on horticultural matters, but also on general planting or agricultural subjects. In practice there is no sharp line of distinction between Planting or tropical farming and Horticulture, and the main principles underlying both are the same. "Agriculture in the tropics," said Sir William Thiselton Dyer, "is essentially extended gardening; it has little relation to the agriculture of temperate countries, and its methods are those of horticulture." According to Liebig, "perfect agriculture is the foundation of all trade and industry, the foundation of the riches of state." "Scientific horticulture," said Dr. Bailey, "joins hands with the plant biologists on the one hand, and with commerce on the other." Gardening or horticulture is obviously advancing in Ceylon, as in other tropical countries, and it is being recognised, slowly but surely, that it plays an important part in home adornment and comfort, as well as in rural improvement and sanitation.

Download or read book Flowering Trees in Subtropical Gardens written by G. Kunkel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969 volume I of 'Arboles Ex6ticos' appeared in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, published in Spanish by the Island Council (Cabildo Insular). Volume II was to have dealt with a further 100 or so Dicotyledons, and volume III to have closed the cycle with Gymnosperms and the tree-like Monocotyledons. Neither of the latter having been published it was suggested that a totally revised and enlarged version of the first book be prepared for Dr. W. Junk, Publishers, The Hague. We are most obliged to Mr. S. P. Bakker and the Board of Directors for their interest in the present work, hoping that it will fill a gap and help both residents and visitors to get to know the amazingly rich exotic flora that is to be encountered in Mediterranean and Canarian parks and gardens. A second volume is in preparation and will concentrate on the bushes and shrubby trees left out in this one. In Flowering Trees in Subtropical Gardens special attention is given to species found in Canary gardens. As, however, most trees described are widely distributed in other regions with a similar Mediterranean climate, it is hoped that this guide may be of use in gardens of the subtropics in general. Several of the species selected here are little known in gardens, hardly ever found illustrated in current reference books and have therefore been included for interest's sake.
