Produktbeschreibung

Controlled and Modified Atmospheres for Fresh and Fresh-Cut Produce is the ultimate reference book of CA/MA recommendations for selected commodities. It includes the basic knowledge of physiology and technologies to the current application of recommended CA/MAP conditions for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. For each commodity, a summary with requirements and recommendations is presented. The book is divided into three parts, with each focusing on different aspects of CA/MA, including fundamental topics on the physiological and quality effects of CA and MAP for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, optimal CA/MAP conditions and recommendations, and optimal conditions for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.

Rezensionen

"This book is meant to represent a sure and rigorous reference point on the packaging in controlled atmospere (CA) and modified atmosphere (MA) of fruit and vegetables fresh and fresh-cut, illustrting the physiological bases and the technologie, with particular reference to individual products. The work is divided into three parts, each focusing on different CA and MA atmopsheres." --Industrie Alimentari
