Indeed, quality determines consumer acceptability and increases the attractivity of fresh and processed products. In this respect, fruit and vegetables, which represent a main source of vitamins and other health compounds, play a major role in human diet. This is the case in developing countries where populations are prone to nutritional deficiencies, but this is also a pending issue worldwide, where the growing middle class is increasingly aware and in search of healthy food. So a future challenge for the global horticultural industry will be to answer the demand for better quality food in a changing environment, where many resources will be limited. This e-collection collates state-of-the-art research on the quality of horticultural crops, covering the underlying physiological processes, the genetic and environmental controls during plant and organ development and the postharvest evolution of quality during storage and processing. 517 $aQuality of Horticultural Crops 610 $apre- and post-harvest 610 $amodeling 610 $aripening 610 $afruit 610 $ataste 610 $agrafting 610 $ahorticultural crops 610 $avegetable 610 $ahealth value 610 $aaroma 610 $aquality 700 $aNadia Bertin$4auth$01284066 702 $aMaarten Hertog$4auth 702 $aMichel Génard$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346745003321 996 $aQuality of Horticultural Crops: A Recurrent$93019255 997 $aUNINA
