The publications collectively refer to apples, bananas, cherries, kiwi fruit, mango, grapes, green bean pods, pomegranates, sweet pepper, sweet potato tubers and tomato and are aimed at improving the postharvest quality and storage extension of fresh produce. The experimental works include the following postharvest treatments: 1-methylcycloprpene, methyl jasmonate, immersion in edible coatings (aloe, chitosan, plant extracts, nanoemulsions, ethanol, ascorbic acid and essential oils solutions), heat treatments, packaging, innovative packaging materials, low temperature, low O2 and high CO2 modified atmosphere, and non-destructible technique development to measure soluble solids with infra- and near infra-red spectroscopy. Preharvest treatments were also included, such as chitosan application, fruit kept on the vine, and cultivation under far-red light. Quality assessment was dependent on species, treatment and storage conditions in each case and included evaluation of color, bruising, water loss, organoleptic estimation and texture changes in addition to changes in the concentrations of sugars, organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, phenolic compounds and aroma volatiles. Gene transcription related to ethylene biosynthesis, modification of cell wall components, synthesis of aroma compounds and lipid metabolism were also the focus of some of the articles.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicssc905-1650 nmabsorptionacetaldehydeALDHAloe veraamidated graphene oxideanthocyaninsantioxidantapple fleshapplesaromaaroma volatileascorbate-glutathione cyclebioactivebioactive compoundsbiodegradableblanchingbruise susceptibilityCapsicum annuum L.carbon dioxidecell wall modificationcherry tomatoeschillingchilling injurychitosancoatingscontrolled atmosphereedible coatingsedible qualityenzyme characteristicsessential oilsesterethanolethylene biosynthesisethylene inhibitionexpanded polystyrenefar-redflavorfood packagingfruit qualityhot water treatmentinternal packagingjasmonatelignin metabolismlipid metabolismmangomaturitymechanical shockmetabolite profilingminimal processedmodified atmospheremodified atmosphere filmmodified atmosphere packagingmolded fiberMusa AAAnanocoatingsnanomaterialsnanotechnologynatural antimicrobialsOpuntia ficus-indica extractspeppermintPhaseolus vulgarisphenolic compoundsphenolspost-harvestpost-harvest treatmentpostharvestpostharvest qualitypostharvest treatmentpreharvest treatmentpreservation methodsPrunus aviumqualityready to eatscatteringSolanum lycopersicumsoluble sugarsstorabilitystoragestorage qualitysulfonated poly ether ether ketonesweet potatosynthetic pathwaytea treetomatototal antioxidant capacitytranscriptometranspirationtransportationvolatilewater losswax coatingBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agricultureTsantili Eleniedt1314107Bai JinheedtTsantili EleniothBai JinheothBOOK9910566473303321Postharvest Management of Fruits and Vegetables3031714UNINA
