Fruit and
Vegetable Storage

The purpose of this book is to evaluate the effects of changing the pressure within
the storage environment of fresh fruit and vegetables in order to preserve them in
their optimum condition. This evaluation is put into context of current commercial
practices used in Fruit and Vegetable Storage technology in order to determine the
possible future of changing the pressure as a commercial technique. Its primary
purpose is therefore to provide an up-to-date consideration of these techniques
that will help those involved in the postharvest fruit and vegetable industry to plan
and design the most suitable and economic conditions both now and in the future.
Students in tertiary education will also find it useful both in giving an overview of
the subject and to determine possible areas of research needs.
