Abstract

During the last three or four decades, temperate fruit production and consumption have increased tremendously, thanks to new developments and findings of research activities. These aspects concern better understanding of the physiology of the crops in order to develop appropriate technologies, which can ensure quality preservation and improve the availability of products for fresh consumption, as well as for processing. This chapter intends to highlight some major factors that have a direct effect on the preservation and/or deterioration of fresh temperate fruit during postharvest operations. Hence, it presents an overview of the available reports on the effects of postharvest technologies on the enhancement of shelf life and storage potential of various temperate fruits.
