Postharvest Management of Fresh Produce: Recent Advances critically addresses the latest issues, challenges, and technological advancements in postharvest management of fresh commodities, especially fruits, nuts, and vegetables. The book covers the intriguing correlation of preharvest treatments, maturity indices and postharvest operations that significantly affect the postharvest quality of fresh produce. Further topics include packaging, logistics and storage technologies, the role of microbial communities, and ‘omics’ strategies in postharvest disease management. Special attention is given to the latest trends of nanotechnology, internet of things (IoTs), and blockchain technologies in food supply chain management of perishable products.
The book is a great resource for young and experienced professionals in academia, industry, and UG/PG students to explore a diversified range of topics in postharvest strategies relevant to food processing, food technologies, agro-processing and quality control.

Reduction in postharvest losses has remained a major key challenge among agri-food professionals to meet the consumption and demand of fresh produce. Fruits and vegetables, being classified as highly perishable commodities, are prone to postharvest losses through heat/drought, mechanical damage during harvesting and handling, improper sanitation, and intriguing environmental factors. In low-income regions, the contribution of high food losses is manifested mainly at production, postharvest handling and storage stages whereas, retail and consumer level are the major stages in developed countries for a similar extent of food losses.
