Produktbeschreibung

"Cutting world-wide food-grain spoilage by half can provide food stocks for over a billion malnourished people. This authoritative handbook, edited by leading international grain engineering scientist, Professor Dirk E. Maier, outlines and illustrates how to minimize/eliminate post-harvest spoilage losses. With contributions by leading international authorities, it highlights the causes and provides the needed science and technology to prevent postharvest spoilage losses. It will be a standard text for educating future post-harvest grain scientists and technicians and fills a critical information gap." Emeritus Prof. Ronald T. Noyes, Oklahoma State University, USA; Fellow of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers; President of Grain Storage Engineering LLC Post-harvest losses of cereals and other grains, whether from spoilage microorganisms or insect pests, remain a significant issue in both the developed and developing world. Challenges include restrictions on chemicals for decontamination and increasing levels of insect resistance. Advances in postharvest management of cereals and grains provides a comprehensive review of the latest research on the causes of postharvest cereal losses, as well as the key research on the detection and control of fungal contaminants. This collection includes authoritative discussions led by leading experts on the viability of different technologies implemented to control postharvest losses, such as fumigation, biopesticides, controlled atmospheres and control of fungal contamination. With its distinguished editor and international range of chapter authors, Advances in postharvest management of cereals and grains will be a standard reference for cereal scientists, food storage technologists, government and other bodies involved in improving postharvest technologies as well as the cereal processing industry. Dr Dirk Maier is a Professor and Postharvest Engineer at Iowa State University, USA. Professor Maier is the Founding Director of the Consortium for Innovation in Post-Harvest Loss and Food Waste Reduction. He leads this global innovation partnership aimed at sustainably providing safe and nutritious food for a growing world population. Professor Maier has received a number of awards, guided many students and scholars in their research, and published widely on postharvest management of cereals, with a particular focus on quality preservation and loss prevention and reduction.
