Post-harvest technology refers to the application of science and technology to the management of food commodities, including pre-cooling, grading, sorting, packaging, transportation, storage, processing, and the development of improved products. This technology can help reduce post-harvest losses and ensure a greater variety of food is available to consumers. The use of post-harvest technology in agriculture and related fields is important, and it is essential that individuals involved in these fields have a good understanding of the terminology used in this area. A manuscript that provides information on post-harvest technology and related concepts would be a valuable resource for the industry, academia, and consumers. This book provides comprehensive information on post-harvest technology, including related disciplines such as physiology, processing, food science, food technology, food engineering, food packaging, food biochemistry, applied nutrition, industrial microbiology, health foods, and quality management. The book includes well-illustrated examples and photographs to aid in understanding the terminology. Currently, there is no book available that provides complete information on post-harvest technology. This book will be beneficial to undergraduate and postgraduate students studying post-harvest technology, as well as those preparing for PhD entrance examinations in post-harvest technology at IARI, various JRF and SRF examinations, and NET.
