Postharvest physiology and hypobaric storage of fresh produce

Postharvest physiology and hypobaric storage of fresh produce / Stanley P. Burg.

Hypobaric (low-pressure; LP) storage offers considerable potential as a method for preventing postharvest losses of horticultural and other perishable commodities, such as fruits, vegetables, cut flowers and meat. This book, written by the world's leading authority on hypobaric storage, provide...
