Morphological changes of lenticels and their role in gas exchange and sprouting physiology of potato tubers during postharvest storage

Frontiers in Plant Science
The application of exogenous gases has been used to suppress sprouting in stored potato tubers. However, their efficacy in extending ecodormancy largely depends on achieving optimal gas exchange between the storage atmosphere and the tuber itself.

The Postharvest Education Foundation’s role in reducing postharvest losses

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
The Postharvest Education Foundation (PEF) was founded to address postharvest losses through education and training. Postharvest expertisewas identified as a key weakness in many developing countries. The PEF provides innovative programs that motivate and empower people to reduce food losses and waste. At the heart of the PEF is a structured e-learning

Postharvest Management to Preserve the Nutritional Quality of Vegetables: An Overview Based on Current Research Findings Across the Globe

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Postharvest losses in vegetables extend beyond mere quantitative reduction through physical deterioration and spoilage; they encompass substantial qualitative degradation, particularly the deterioration of critical nutritional constituents. Following harvest, vegetables maintain metabolic activity, and when subjected to suboptimal environmental ...
