Postharvest physiology and Biochemistry of Fruits and vegetables Pdf
Introduction
Post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables is a major obstacle to food security and leads to a large economic loss during storage and long-distance shipping/transportation. Substantial improvement of the nutritional content of fruits and vegetables in addition to longer shelf-life will likely requireIn the process, scientific understanding of the regulation
of biochemical and molecular events critical for prolonging the fruit postharvest
life together with enhancement of quality attributes including vitamins,
proteins, flavor, aroma, and texture, has advanced further. Ethylene as a “ripening”
plant hormone and promoter of leaf senescence has attracted the attention of
many investigators, revealing important facets of its biosynthesis and action.
