Redaktion: Yahia, Elhadi M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Providing a complete analysis of MA and CA research, development, and future possibilities, this book delineates the ideal conditions for many horticultural commodities and outlines the effects of MA and CA on the physiology and biochemistry of these commodities and on their flavors and quality. The 23 chapters in the book cover basic and applied aspects related to the science and application of this technology to the handling of specific agricultural commodities. They discuss all technological applications of MA and CA (storage, transport, and packaging) for fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals of temperate, subtropical, and tropical origin.
