Postharvest Handling of Fresh Vegetables

Résumé du livre

When the ACIAR project on postharvest handling of leafy vegetables that led to the workshop reported here was conceived, the remarkable changes in marketing systems for vegetables in China were only just beginning. Since 1998, the Chinese and Australian project team have had important opportunities to identify and address technology needs for marketing systems that have been changing year to year. This workshop provided an opportunity to fully report on the project outcomes. It also introduced new research challenges that have been proposed in the fields of postharvest handling of melons and in improvements to microbial safety of fresh vegetables. Thus, we have coverage of not only what has been done, but also of what lies ahead. This publication contains copies of papers presented at the Beijing workshop 9-11 May 2001.
