New review maps a 'structure-to-physiology' roadmap for functional fruit packaging
Summary
Freshly harvested fruit remains metabolically active, respires vigorously and is highly sensitive to ethylene. It is therefore highly susceptible to softening, browning, water loss and decay. Currently, about 25% of fruit is lost in the postharvest supply chain because of inadequate preservation, transport or storage.
