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. The contributors are leading researchers from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. A substantial contribution to this fast-developing area, this book is essential for horticultural students and researchers and for growers, importers and exporters of tropical and subtropical fruit.
