Sustainable Postharvest Technologies for Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables, commonly termed as "fresh produce" are an important component of the human diet, as these provide various beneficial and essential health-related compounds. Nevertheless, fresh produce is susceptible to postharvest deterioration and decay along with loss of certain nutrients due to innapropriate storage conditions and lack of standard postharvest technologies. In addition, the short shelf life is considered another major constraint that must be extended after harvest to ensure a wider availability window of the fresh produce for consumers. From this perspective, the use of postharvest approaches is considered imperative to reduce the deterioration of harvested fresh pr...
Postharvest Pathology of Fresh Horticultural Produce
Optimal distribution of fresh horticultural products entails prolonging their freshness and nutritional quality as long as possible after harvest. A major limitation to their marketing is decay after harvest, which is caused primarily by fungal pathogens. Postharvest Pathology of Fresh Horticultural Produce provides a comprehensive resource of information about the biology and control of postharvest diseases of many fresh horticultural products, citing sources from appropriate literature of any age, rather than only the most recent. The etiology and symptoms of postharvest diseases and the biology of postharvest pathogens are reviewed by leading experts, who are familiar with many of worldâ€...
Chemical and Microbiological Factors Influencing the Infection of Lemons by Geotrichum Candidum and Penicillium Digitatum
Sour rot, incited by Geotrichum candidum Link. ex Pers., is an important postharvert disease of citrus fruits, because of the rapid growth of the patogen, its ability to spread by contact and because no postharvest treatment, except cold temperature, is known to control it. The inoculation of wounds on the lemon peel, made with a puncture tool, with a conidial suspension of the pathogen frequently has resulted in partial or variable success. This constitutes a limiting factor in tests with fungicides to control the disease. Inoculum additives, such as cycloheximide (10 [micron]g/ml), glyphosate (10 [micron]g/ml), blasticidin S (10 micron]g/ml) and a comercial pectinase, Rohapect D5S (10 mg/m...
Agriculture and Food Production
This volume of Applied Mycology and Biotechnology completes the set of two volumes dedicated to the coverage of recent developments on the theme "Agriculture and Food Production". The first volume provided overview on fungal physiology, metabolism, genetics and biotechnology and highlighted their connection with particular applications to food production. The second volume examines various specific applications of mycology and fungal biotechnology to food production and processing. In the second volume coverage on two remaining areas of the theme, food crop production and applications in the foods and beverages sector, is presented. The interdisciplinary and complex nature of the subject are...
