Post-harvest Technology for Reducing Stress on Bioresource: Recent Advances and Future Needs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioresource and Stress Management

Abstract

Diverse agroclimatic conditions afford ample opportunities to grow a large number of agricultural crops. The present day agricultural shifts its focus towards quality, quantity and processing and value addition. In order to deliver a quality product to the market and ultimately to the consumer, to command buyer attention and to give the grower a competitive edge, proper post-harvest management is required. Nearly, 20–25 % of fruits and 30–40 % of vegetables are wasted due to inaccurate post-harvest practices during harvesting packaging, storage, grading, etc. This wastage can be reduced to some extent through the adoption of proper scientific methods such as by cleaning, washing, sorting and grading, waxing, packing, pre-cooling, curing, chemical treatment, irradiation, harvesting at right maturity stage, free from injuries, properly storing and grading, right packing, temperature and humidity of storage, cleanliness of storage, chemical composition of produce and variety. In this chapter, the recent trends in research and developmental work done in the field of post-harvest management of agricultural commodities especially perishable ones like fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants have been summarized. The literature has been presented and discussed under different sections include the extent of post-harvest losses, post-harvest physiology, handling during harvest and post-harvest, packaging, processing, value addition, quality assurance, marketing, etc. The text described here provides a gist of research trends and new avenues in the field of post-harvest technology.
