Preface
Excellent fruits with delicate nature, health benefits, and market acceptability
belong to the temperate regions of the world. Once harvested, these fruits must be
handled with proper care. Maintaining the postharvest quality of temperate fruits
has long been a challenging task. This book presents technologies that are in use, or
have the potential to be used, to maintain the postharvest quality. In this book, we
have sincerely attempted to provide comprehensive coverage of various aspects,
particularly postharvest biology and technology of temperate fruits, in different
chapters authored by experts in the field.
This is arguably one of the first books focusing on postharvest handling and
technology of temperate fruits. This book focuses on the biodiversity of temperate
fruits, orchard management, nutritional and health benefits, and postharvest tech-
nologies for shelf-life enhancement. The contributing authors address the posthar-
vest biology and technology of individual temperate fruits, such as plum, cherry,
peach, apricot, apple, pear, quince, loquat, kiwi, persimmon, berries, and straw-
berry. Contributions from experts in the field make this a key reference material for
all aspects of postharvest management of temperate fruits.
We believe that this comprehensive collection will benefit students, scientists,
postharvest technologists, professionals in the fruit industry, and many others. We
are grateful to all the contributors for promptly submitting their chapters. We also
thank the staff of the editorial and production departments of Springer for their
unstinted support and efforts to bring about this book in its present form.
