About this document
Post Harvest Physiology in Horticulture by Daguale Melaku Ayele is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the history and development of post-harvest technology. It notes that post-harvest losses of fresh produce can be over 25% globally. Proper cooling and storage is important for extending shelf-life and reducing losses. The main causes of post-harvest losses are physical damage and loss of quality through physiological and compositional changes. Temperature is a key factor that must be controlled to maintain quality during post-harvest operations.
