Tropical and subtropical fruits, an increasingly important food source where they are grown, are becoming a valuable export, particularly to North America and Europe. However, transporting the fruit to temperate zones can be difficult, while postharvest losses in the tropics themselves can be considerable. This book is the first comprehensive volume on postharvest tropical and subtropical fruits. It covers postharvest storage, physiology and conservation for all economically important fruits.
