Production Practices and Quality Assessment of Food Crops 4 Volumes:
Vol 3: Quality Handling and Evaluation

Author(s):

Ramdane Dris PhD. and S. Mohan Jain PhD.

Category: Crop


An effective food quality assurance system is essential throughout the harvest and retail display to provide a consistently good quality supply of fresh food crops for the consumers and to protect the reputation of given marketing labels. This book covers various aspects of quality handling and assessment, including handling parameters, quality evaluation, CA and MAP storage conditions in a broad sense. It emphasizes developing better methods of monitoring quality and safety attributes of fresh produce as part of a quality assurance system and quality assessment and maintenance. To meet the changing demands for quality, availability, cost, appearance and service the actors in the supply chain need to cooperate. We have included eighteen chapters . This book will be useful to researchers  engaged in postharvest research and graduate and post-graduate students  majoring in food sciences and researchers.
