Author(s) : GEERAERD A. H., WOUTERS P. C., IMPE J. F. van

Summary

This issue of "Acta Horticulturae" contains the 73 papers presented at this symposium, held in Palmerston North (New Zealand), on December 9-13, 2001. Extract from the table of contents: production (simulation and control of ventilation rates in greenhouses); microbiology on calculating sterility in thermal preservation methods; validation of predictive models in dynamic conditions: microbial proliferation of Erwinia carotovora spp at low changing temperatures; modelling the shelf-life of food due to the growth of spoilage organisms under changing temperatures along the supply chain); consumer attitude; process optimisation (modified-atmosphere packaging of fresh produce); storage and transport (effect of pallet box stacking on cooling of horticultural products in cool stores; heat transfer in air cargo unit load devices; homogeneous fruit in packinghouse rooms: model for apple storage); product quality (applicability of the shelf life decision system for control of nutritional quality of frozen vegetables; a kinetic model of the effect of temperature-time history on the mortality of quarantine pests and on fruit-enzyme systems; computation of mechanical stresses in Belgian endive during postharvest storage by means of finite element structural analysis); thermal processing (analysis of the effective thermal conductivity of a two-component model food system using finite element methods; optimisation of operating conditions of a vacuum cooling system for cooling cooked meats; prediction of thawing time of cooked cured meat).
