Contains information on post-harvest handling and marketing operations and storage of fresh and processed products. Highlights technology which, when combined, has a positive and synergistic effect in preventing biochemical and physicochemical reactions and microbial growth - the main causes of quality losses in fruits and vegetables. Suggested methodologies combine technologies such as mild heat treatment, water activity reduction, lowering of the pH and use of anti-microbial substances to realize the potential of minimally processed, high-moisture fruit products. These relatively new technologies have been successfully applied to several important tropical and non-tropical fruits in different countries of Latin America.Barbosa-Cánovas, Gustavo V. is the author of 'Handling and Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables by Combined Methods for Rural Areas : Technical Manual', published 2003 under ISBN 9789251048610 and ISBN 9251048614.
