Maintaining the postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables.

This review covers crop produce quality deterioration due to respiration, ethylene production, senescence, dormancy breaking, water loss, fungal and bacterial pathogens, and physiological disorders; quality assessment based on appearance, texture, flavour, and aroma; quality maintenance through cold storage, postharvest treatments (surface coatings and packaging, curing, dehydration, chemical control of pathogens, and irradiation); and future trends (development of technologies for nondestructive grading and shelf life evaluation, replacement of postharvest chemicals, and production of genetically modified fruits and vegetables) in produce quality improvement.
