| Description: | Maintaining the postharvest quality of fresh produce has long been a challenging task. In the past, several chemicals were used for postharvest treatment of fresh produce. These chemicals have been phased out, however, and replaced due to factors such as advances in technology a rise in health consciousness among consumers, and new environmental concerns. The safety and effi cacy of postharvest treatments depends on the use of novel preservation technologies. The existing food laws have brought about several desirable changes in the logistics of postharvest handling and the value chain of fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Synthetic pre- and post-storage treatment agents/molecules have been replaced by ecofriendly products. In the last couple of years, environmental and consumer friendly postharvest treatments have gained popularity across the globe. |
