Preface
Berries are highly valued fruit crops for their unique flavors, textures, and
colors. In recent years, berries have been shown to provide significant health
benefits because of their high antioxidant content, vitamins and minerals,
fiber, folic acid, etc. In addition to fresh consumption, berry fruits are widely
used in beverages, ice cream, yogurt, milkshakes, jams, jellies, smoothies,
and many other food products.
This book covers the basic functional chemicals (bioactive compounds),
significant health benefits, shelf life, and microbial safety concerns associated
with postharvest handling and storage, technologies to develop value-added
berry products with high quality, and significant nutraceutical benefits. This
book is divided into three parts: bioactive compounds of berry fruit and
their health benefits, quality and safety of berry fruit during postharvest
handling and storage, and processing technologies for developing value-
added berry fruit products.
Each chapter in this book is written by an international expert (or
experts), presenting information on the scientific background, research
results, and critical reviews of the relevant issue, including a comprehensive
list of recently published literature, and case studies, thus providing valuable
sources of information for further research and development of berry fruit
for the food industry.

Editor
Dr. Yanyun Zhao received her Ph.D. in food engineering from Louisiana
State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1993 and is now an associate
professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Oregon State
University, Corvallis, Oregon, with formal responsibilities in extension,
research, and teaching. Dr. Zhao’s research efforts are in the area of value-
added food products development, with an emphasis on using novel food
processing and packaging techniques for developing fruit- and vegetable-
based functional foods. Dr. Zhao’s extension activities include providing
leadership in identifying educational needs and creating, delivering, and eval-
uating educational programs and materials in value-added fruit and vegetable
products. Dr. Zhao teaches “Fruit and Vegetable Processing” and “Functional
Foods” courses.
Dr. Zhao has published more than 40 journal articles and 8 book chapters,
holds 6 patents, and has received more than 10 U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture (USDA) competitive grants totaling about $1.5 million. Dr. Zhao serves
on the editorial board of the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, on
advisory boards of several industrial organizations, is an expert reviewer for
several peer-reviewed journals and USDA competitive research grant pro-
grams, and is an active member of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT).
