Proceedings of the International Conference Postharvest Unlimited Downunder 2004.

Date: 2004.11.09 / 2004.11.12

Location: Sydney, Australia

Summary

This issue of "Acta Horticulturae" contains 64 papers presented at this Conference, co-sponsored by the IIR, held in Sydney (Australia). The theme for the Conference was "Postharvest technologies for the delivery of high quality horticultural products: implementation based on an understanding of the physiological and engineering requirements of produce". Extract from the table of contents: quality kinetics and modelling; physiology (influence of storage temperature and at-harvest maturity on incidence of chill-related disorders in kiwifruit; controlled atmosphere-induced internal browning in Pink Lady apples; chill out: chilling-related injuries in Navel oranges); measurement of quality attributes (development of a thermal conductivity system for food and packaging materials; effects of temperature on produce texture and water status: a model study on radish and carrots; using consumers to determine standards for Red Delicious apple edible quality); processing and process improvement novel washing methods to extend the quality and enhance the nutritional value of minimally-processed vegetable products); fresh-cut products: technological challenges; preharvest effects on postharvest (water loss of Conference pears during long-term controlled-atmosphere storage); technologies for storage and shelf-life extension (1-methylcyclopropene [MCP] based technologies for storage and shelf-life extension; quality of Thompson Seedless table grapes fumigated with CO2 + SO2 and methyl bromide; CaCl2 applications on storage quality of rambutan; 1-MCP controls superficial scald development and maintains apple quality during long-term storage); supply chain technology and assessment (traceability in fresh produce supply chains; temperature variances in a 12-m integral reefer container carrying plums under a dual-temperature shipping regime; distribution of temperature, relative humidity, and flow rate within a scaled container using unforced and forced airflows; characterisation of air flow in a commercial cool store using a carbon monoxide gas tracer technique; relative humidity control in refrigerated facilities); all theme areas (controlling chilling injury induction in citrus fruit; quality changes in green papaya shreds during low-oxygen storage; microbiological and sensory quality of green papaya shreds in controlled atmospheres; effect of harvest date in chilling-injury development of persimmon fruit).
