Modified and controlled atmospheres for the storage, transportation, and packaging of horticultural commodities

An exploration of the more than 70 years of historical milestones in the research and development of MA and CA technology, this book delineates the ideal conditions for many horticultural commodities and outlines the effects of MA and CA on physiology and biochemistry of these commodities and on their flavors and quality. The 23 chapters in the book cover basic and applied aspects related to the science and application of this technology to the handling of the specific agricultural commodities. They discuss all technological applications of MA and CA (storage, transport, and packaging) for fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals of temperate, subtropical, and tropical origin.
