Maintaining optimal atmosphere conditions for fruits and vegetables throughout the postharvest handling chain

Optimal controlled and modified atmospheres (CA and MA) for fresh produce vary according to the specie, its maturity or ripeness stage, the temperature, and the duration of exposure. However, individual lots of produce are typically handled for different times and at different temperatures during storage, transportation, and retail display. In this paper, we review some of our previous work sho...

Microwaves in Postharvest Applications with Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are an increasing part of our diets as they are a recognized source of health enhancing nutrients. The use of microwaves to ensure product quality for minimally processed fruits and vegetables is gaining popularity. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. In this review we concentrated on research conducted at the 2450 MHz frequen...
