Mango Quality Enhancement: Studies show that treatments incorporating 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and melatonin significantly improve mango appearance, sugar content, and antioxidant activities, highlighting their potential to extend shelf life. Modified Atmosphere Packaging for Fresh-Cut Melons: Research demonstrates the effectiveness of passive modified atmospheres in extending the freshness of fresh-cut melons, especially non-climacteric types, by adjusting packaging perforation levels. Natural Coatings on Blueberries and Grapefruit: Investigations into various coatings reveal inconsistent effects on weight loss in blueberries. Additionally, studies on thymol vapors indicate a natural method for controlling post-harvest diseases in grapefruit, enhancing fruit longevity. Optimal Storage Conditions and Fungal Infection Management: Comprehensive reviews suggest optimal storage temperatures for different apple and pear cultivars and detail how Penicillium expansum affects apple quality, offering strategies for decay management. Quality Testing and Soil Treatments: Advances in hyperspectral imaging for non-destructive quality testing in citrus and the impact of anaerobic soil disinfestation on winter melon juice quality are explored, showing how agricultural practices influence fruit characteristics. Loquat Fruit Post-Harvest Handling: A review of loquat fruit post-harvest technology discusses storage methods to mitigate deterioration and preserve quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mdpi AG","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45414761201815,"sku":"9783725813636","price":5834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783725813636.webp?v=1768585903","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/postharvest-management-of-fruits-and-vegetables-series-ii-9783725813636","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
