FRESH
CITRUS FRUITS, Second Edition

Grierson
September 2006, hardcover

FRESH CITRUS FRUITS, Second Edition, is a comprehensive treatise on citrus fruits destined for fresh markets. From grove-to-packinghouse-to-market may appear as a simple path of delivery of citrus fruits to consumers, but there are many obstacles and important problems which are discussed here in depth. Fresh Citrus Fruits, Second Edition should be of considerable interest to growers, handlers, packinghouse workers, exporters, produce buyers, citrus scientists, students and consumers.
The First Edition of this book was published 20 years ago. New chapters are included in this second edition of Fresh Citrus Fruits, such as Food Safety Program, and Organic Fresh Fruit. Likewise, much of the material under old chapter headings has been updated or is completely new.
Color plates have been added to the book for the identification of postharvest diseases, physiological disorders, citrus canker, Mediterranean Fruit Fly and a fruit color-add test. Having these color illustrations in the book will aid readers in identifying problems.
The presence of Citrus Canker in Florida and Australia made the Plant Pest Regulations a difficult chapter to complete. Likewise, the Pesticide Tolerances chapter addresses a constantly changing subject. Internet addresses in these and other chapters provide sources of continually updated information.
Contents
1 Anatomy and Physiology
2 Maturity and Grade Standards
3 Preharvest Practices That Influence Fresh Fruit Quality
4 Growth Regulator Improvement of Postharvest Quality
5 Food Safety Program
6 Production Trends around the World
