In the last 10 years there has been an exponential increase in adoption of high density farming which leads to better yield and higher quality fruits, thus improving the economic return. Handbook of Plum Fruit: Production, Postharvest Science & Processing Technology covers all the recent advances in plum production, harvesting, handling and processing.

Divided into two main parts, the first eight chapters provide insight about preharvesting processing of plum, whereas the later chapters discuss the postharvesting processing of plum. This book also includes vital chapters on varietal improvement and rootstock breeding, high density planting, and pollination. After harvesting, plum quality quickly diminishes mainly due to weight loss, total acidity, firmness losses, and decay incidence.

Key Features:

Provides in-depth information on the pre and post-harvest processing of plum
Integrates coverage on plum harvesting, handling, and storage practices
Discusses plum byproduct utilization and potential health benefits

Handbook of Plum Fruit provides comprehensive information on recent advances in post harvesting technologies of plum. The health benefits of plum and its products are also addressed. This book will assist horticulturist, agriculturists, pomologists, food scientists and other members working in various fruit processing industries.
