This book focuses on the basic principles governing postharvest physiology, starting with the cellular and subcellular structure of harvested products through metabolic alterations and changes in biochemical constituents after harvest. The transient physical and biochemical state of harvested products is emphasized throughout the text and environmental factors that modulate the rate of change, identified. Basic environmental factors causing stress after harvest, the principles of gas, solvent and solute movement within harvested products and exchanges with the external environment and the principles of heat, heat transfer and cooling are developed.
