The quality losses of fresh fruit and vegetables during cold chain are frequently attributable to an inappropriate use of postharvest technologies. Moreover, especially when fresh produce is transported to distant markets, it is necessary to adopt proper storage solutions in order to preserve the initial quality.Nowadays, for each step of the supply chain (packing house, cold storage rooms, precooling center, refrigerate transport, and distribution), innovative preservation technologies are available that, alone or in combination, could preserve the fresh products in order to maintain the principal quality and nutritional characteristics. In this Special Issue, these preservation technologies will be described, highlighting their effect on quality maintenance.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscactive cardboard boxactive packagingantimicrobial compoundsantioxidant activitybiocontrolBotrytis cinereacarvacrolchilling injurycitruscold atmospheric plasmacutting stylesdecay incidencedisinfectionessential oilsfoodborne pathogengrey mouldinactivationinclusion complexinternal circulation systemkinetic modelLactuca sativa L.low fluctuation of temperaturemicrobesminimally processed lettucemodified atmosphere packagingmodified atmosphere packaging (MAP)nanoparticles coatingnon-hazardousoxalic acidozone (O3)papayapeachPeleg constantplasma-activated waterpost-harvestpreservativesqualityrespiration rateshelf lifespoilage microbesstorage qualitysweet potatoestable grapesTiO2 photocatalyticβ-cyclodextrinBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agriculturePace Bernardoedt1297575Cefola MariaedtPace BernardoothCefola MariaothBOOK9910557788603321Innovative Preservation Technology for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetables3024566UNINA
