From the Farm to Your Table

A Consumer's Guide to Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

By: James F. Thompson,Adel A. Kader

This colorful handbook will help you pick good-quality, healthy fruits and vegetables that are a vital part of your daily diet. You'll learn why there is more to fruit and vegetable quality than meets the eye and how to handle yourfresh fruits and vegetables at home to maintain their quality and safety. You'll also learn how growing and harvesting factors can effect quality, and the effect of growing locations, produce handling methods, and the number of steps between production and retail markets. The publication includes handy tables to show you the steps between the field and your table, which fruits and vegetables should be stored in the refrigerator and which should be stored on the counter, and what to look for when selecting produce at the market.

The Role of Post-harvest Management in Assuring the Quality and Safety of Horticultural Produce

By: Adel A. Kader,Rosa Sonya Rolle,Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Basic approaches to maintaining the safety and quality of horticultural produce are the same, regardless of the market to which this produce is targeted. This bulletin reviews the factors which contribute to quality and safety deterioration of horticultural produce, and describes approaches to assuring the maintenance of quality and safety throughout the post-harvest chain. Specific examples are given to illustrate the economic implications of investing in and applying proper post-harvest technologies. Criteria for the assessment of post-harvest needs, the selection of post-harvest technologies appropriate to the situation and context, and for extending appropriate levels of post-harvest information are also discussed.

Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops: Atmospheric Environment

By: Elizabeth J. Mitcham,Adel Kader,Michael S. Reid,Mikal Saltveit

Drawing on the expertise of the University of California's Postharvest Technology Center, this publication discusses commercial uses of modified- or controlled-atmosphere technology which can be used during transport, temporary storage, or long-term storage of horticultural commodities destined for the fresh market or processing. In modified atmospheres and controlled atmospheres, gases are removed or added to create an atmospheric composition around a commodity that is different from that of air. Modified- or controlled-atmosphere technology can be used during transport, temporary storage, or long-term storage of horticultural commodities destined for the fresh market or processing. Chapter 1 discusses how modified- or controlled-atmosphere technology can be used during transport, temporary storage, or long-term storage of horticultural commodities destined for the fresh market or processing. Chapter 2 discusses the ways biologically important gases are sampled, analyzed, and mixed. Since the rate of respiration of plant tissue is tightly coupled to its overall metabolic rate-and often inversely proportional to shelf life-the measurement and control of respiration are of vital interest in devising strategies to maintain quality after harvest. Chapter 3 discusses the role of Ethylene in the postharvest life of many horticultural crops. Sometimes this role is beneficial (promoting faster and more uniform ripening before retail distribution) and sometimes it is deleterious (speeding senescence and reducing shelf life). This chapter addresses the properties of this gas and ways to both harness its beneficial effects and avoid undesirable results during the postharvest handling of perishable commodities.
