:

Post-harvest handling is the stage of crop production immediately following harvest, including cooling, cleaning, sorting and packing. The instant a crop is removed from the ground, or separated from its parent plant, it begins to deteriorate. Post-harvest treatment largely determines final quality, whether a crop is sold for fresh consumption, or used as an ingredient in a processed food product. This book covers post-harvest factors affecting fruit and vegetable quality, waste management, safety factors, and processing methods. The conventional as well as modern post-harvest technologies are.
