Controlled and Modified Atmospheres for Fresh and Fresh-Cut Produce is the ultimate reference book of CA/MA recommendations for selected commodities. It includes the basic knowledge of physiology and technologies to the current application of recommended CA/MAP conditions for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. For each commodity, a summary with requirements and recommendations is presented. The book is divided into three parts, with each focusing on different aspects of CA/MA, including fundamental topics on the physiological and quality effects of CA and MAP for fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, optimal CA/MAP conditions and recommendations, and optimal conditions for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.

Provides guidelines and recommendations of CA/MAP for the fresh produce industry
Illustrates the benefits and defects caused by CA/MA in full color
Brings more than 54 fruits and vegetables and their respective summary with the requirements and recommendations of CA/MA conditions
Includes the optimal CA/MAP conditions and recommendations for selected fresh fruits and vegetables

Mª Isabel Gil has a Pharmacy degree and a PhD in Biology. She is a senior researcher at the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) in the Food Science & Technology Department at CEBAS-CSIC institute in Murcia, Spain.Her current research activities are related to Quality and Safety of Fresh-cut Vegetables from preharvest to postharvest advanced aspects. She coordinates an expert group involved in fundamental and applied postharvest aspects related with physiology, biochemistry, food safety and technology, which are actively transferred to companies. She is the leader of several R&D projects within European and National Research Programs as well as with fresh-cut companies His research program is focused on assessing the quality of harvested plant products and the development of technological interventions to improve quality maintenance. Much of the work is focused on developing protocols for storage using modified atmospheres via controlled atmosphere rooms or in polymeric packages. Packaging studies include mathematical model development for predicting the performance of packaged produce.

"This book is meant to represent a sure and rigorous reference point on the packaging in controlled atmospere (CA) and modified atmosphere (MA) of fruit and vegetables fresh and fresh-cut, illustrting the physiological bases and the technologie, with particular reference to individual products. The work is divided into three parts, each focusing on different CA and MA atmopsheres." --Industrie Alimentari
