Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops: Cooling and Storage

By: James F. Thompson,Irwin R. Donis-González,Tom Rumsey,Farzaneh Khorsandi,Erin DiCaprio

About one-third of fresh produce harvested worldwide is lost at various points in the distribution system between production and consumption. While it is impossible and uneconomical to eliminate these losses completely, it is possible to reduce them by at least half and increase food availability. The first chapter of this volume describes both proper temperature management practices for perishable commodities and the commercially used methods for cooling fruit, vegetables, and cut flowers. It is written for a person who is initially investigating produce cooling, a professional designer who needs design details, and an operator who wants a better understanding of practical operation guidelines. The chapter contains a complete discussion of design for forced-air coolers, hydrocoolers, and vacuum coolers-the most commonly used cooling methods that people with a good background in industrial refrigeration can design. The second chapter is an overview of cold storage for perishables It describes the unique issues associated with designing a cold storage for perishables. Worker safety and food safety for cooling and storage systems have become important issues for the industry, and they are discussed in chapters 3 and 4. The volume concludes with chapter 5, which describes the effects of air temperature and humidity on postharvest quality and temperature and humidity measurement methods.

The Swedes of Greater Brockton

By: James E. Benson,Lloyd F. Thompson

Swedes came to America filled with hope tempered by the uncertainties of new surroundings, customs, and language. The first Swede to arrive in Brockton, then North Bridgewater, was Daniel Larson (Lawson), in 1844. Since that time, Swedish immigrants and their descendants have left a profound and positive imprint on the character of this region. With an excellent collection of more than two hundred vintage images, The Swedes of Greater Brockton tells the unique story of the immigration to this area of Massachusetts. Greater Brockton was the shoe-manufacturing center of the United States, with such factories as W.L. Douglas, George E. Keith, and D.W. Field. These magnets of immigration drew thousands to the region. Within these pages, meet hundreds of these Swedish immigrants and their descendants. Join in their journey to America, visit their homes, churches, and places of business, and experience their leisure activities. Learn about the establishment of the "Swedish" churches-Lutheran, Congregational, Baptist, Methodist, and the Salvation Army-and see how the entrepreneurial spark in America caught fire in Brockton's Swedish community.

Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops: Preharvest, Harvest, and Packing Operations

By: Elizabeth J. Mitcham,Carlos H. Crisosto,James F. Thompso,Marita I. Cantwell,Devon Zagor,James R. Gorny

The fourth edition of Postharvest Techology for Horticultural Crops has been converted into a series of ten books, each covering a separate area of postharvest technology. This, book 1 in the series, covers the basics of preharvest factors that can affect the quality of the produce headed to the packinghouse and sets the foundation for the rest of the series. Also covered in depth are hand- and mechanical-harvesting methods, as well as preparation for the packinghouse from the field through the sorting line. There is extensive information about food safety during this process, as well as worker safety both in the field and at the plant. The book concludes with information about a variety of packaging methods.

Waves in Fluids

By: Sir M. J. Lighthill,James Lighthill

A comprehensive textbook in which the author describes the science of waves in liquids and gases. Drawing on a subject of enormous extent and variety, he provides his readers with a thorough analysis of the most important and representative types of waves including sound waves, shock waves, waterwaves of all kinds, and the so-called internal waves (inside atmospheres and oceans) due to intensity stratification. Emphasis throughout is on the most generally useful fundamental ideas of wave science, including the principles of how waves interact with flows. This standard work on one of the great subdivisions of the dynamics of fluids is lucidly written and will be invaluable to engineers, physicists, geophysicists, applied mathematicians or any research worker concerned with wave motions or fluid fllows. It is especially suitable as a textbook for courses at the final year undergraduate or graduate level.
