Postharvest quality properties of potential tropical fruits related to their unique structural characters (Chapter 9)

Tropical fruits deliver exciting, exotic, and luscious sensory experiences into fruit markets
around the world. Delivering these experiences depends upon analogous postharvest
management practices to those use in other types of fresh produce. Maturity indices, grading,
postharvest treatments, packaging, and temperature management all contribute to
reliably providing high-quality fruits to market. Each of these aspects needs to be tailored
to the particular needs of the individual fruit species and cultivars.
