Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Species in Post-Harvest Physiology of Horticultural Crops 1st Edition

Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Species in Post-Harvest Physiology of Horticultural Crops, 1st Edition by Vasileios Ziogas and Francisco J. Corpas is an essential, cutting-edge guide for anyone serious about preserving freshness and quality in fresh produce. This authoritative volume draws attention to the often-overlooked roles of reactive oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur species in determining shelf life, texture, flavor and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.

Inside, readers will find a clear, science-driven exploration of how these reactive molecules influence senescence, decay and stress responses after harvest, presented in a way that bridges laboratory insight and practical application. The book explains detection methods, physiological pathways, and management strategies that can be applied across postharvest systems—from field packinghouses to refrigerated transport and retail displays.

Perfect for postharvest physiologists, horticultural researchers, quality managers, and commercial growers, this title offers actionable knowledge to reduce losses and improve marketability. Internationally relevant, the content speaks to Mediterranean, temperate and tropical production systems as well as global supply chains, making it especially useful for those working in Europe, North America, Asia and beyond.

By investing in this volume, professionals gain a reliable roadmap to optimize storage atmospheres, refine handling protocols and develop targeted interventions that maintain produce quality. With a professional yet accessible tone, the book transforms complex biochemical science into strategies that deliver measurable improvements in postharvest performance.
