Postharvest losses in agriculture produce
Author(s): Mohan Kumar Sinha, Sanoj Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Satish Kumar and Mahendra Kumar Sharma
Abstract: Harvest is a major event for any food that is derived from plants. As a plant part is severed from the plant it loses its source of supply of nutrients and its repository for metabolic waste products. Until the detached plant part undergoes conventional food processing, it continues to live, respire, transpire, and senesce, ultimately leading to death. Postharvest deterioration continues until the item is either processed or consumed. Handling techniques have been developed to slow the physiological processes to provide a product that is satisfactory to the consumer.
