IMPROVEMENT OF THE POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF STRAWBERRIES
Acta Horticulturae, 1997Methods for the improvement of the postharvest quality of strawberries are being studied in a joint research project between VTT, MTT, domestic producers and Finnish packaging and refrigeration companies during 1995–1997. The aim of the project is to find the main factors affecting the postharvest quality of strawberries and to develop the methods that

POSTHARVEST MANAGEMENT BEYOND QUALITY MAINTENANCE
Acta Horticulturae, 2005Most researchers, producers, consumers, marketers, and economists interested in fruit and vegetable quality have a reasonably clear concept of the term quality, although it is rarely defined. An integration of the different quality definitions through a better appreciation of quality orientations should lead to the development of adequate handling ...

Postharvest quality of cut lily flowers
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2011Abstract This paper reviews the literature on the postharvest quality of cut lily inflorescences and highlights the need for more information. The main symptoms that limit the length of vase life are abscission of floral buds, lack of flower opening, tepal wilting, and leaf yellowing.

RIPENING MANAGEMENT AND POSTHARVEST FRUIT QUALITY
Acta Horticulturae, 2010Fruit ripening is a highly regulated process with coordinated genetic and metabolic events, leading to essential changes in gene expression, physiology, biochemistry and anatomy. These complex regulatory events transform a physiologically mature but inedible fruit into an edible, tasty product.
