Literature Survey on Causes of Spoilage of Fresh Produce-1959 to 1977

摘要

A literature survey was conducted to determine the causes of spoilage of fresh produce. This report summarizes experimental work and knowledge that appeared in technical books, reports and journals primarily from 1959 to 1977, although one article dates back to 1931. An abstract or summary of each reference is included. In addition, a series of tables was developed from the literature survey listing the market diseases and their causes for nine of the fruits and vegetables. (Author)
