The underlying premise of this book is that a greater emphasis on collaborative research that crosses interdisciplinary lines is more likely to lead to improved fruit and vegetable quality than is a continued emphasis on rigorous, single disciplinary studies. It provides concise descriptions of important issues facing post-harvest handlers, pointers to the literature in specific fields, assessments of current knowledge and research needs, and specific examples of product-based research.
