Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proportion of fruit in people's daily diet is increasing, and consumers are demanding higher-quality fruits. Their storage and transportation environment has a significant impact on the quality of the fruits in circulation. Most rotten fruits are caused by improper post-harvest handling. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the impact of the storage and transportation environment on the quality of fruits in circulation, as well as analyzing the influence of environmental factors, packaging, physical field assistance, and other parameters or technologies on the quality of fruit during storage and transportation. Papers relevant to the following topics are welcomed in this Special Issue, including, but not limited to:
- The correlation between storage and transportation environmental control and fruit quality;
- The influence of new packaging structures, materials, etc., on the internal environment of packaging and the preservation quality of fruits;
- The impact of physical field-assisted preservation technology on the storage and transportation quality of fruits;
- The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene and other post-harvest treatments on fruit quality during storage.
