Physical treatments in post-harvest of 'Thompson' Atemoia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786208230579)

This work seeks to invite the reader to interact in the difficulty of finding technologies that can positively affect the post-harvest durability of atemoia fruit (Annona x atemoya Mabb). Brazil suffers losses of more than 30% of its total fruit production. These losses are caused by various items related to the production chain, such as harvesting, packaging, transportation, storage and consumption. These losses are even more relevant if we consider that Brazil is the third largest fruit producer in the world, behind only China and India. Considering the importance of the possible financial losses linked to Brazilian agribusiness, which accounts for 30% of the country's GDP, this work is valuable because it evaluates three different post-harvest technologies linked to storage, an extremely important item for producers in terms of price seasonality, which directly interferes with improving their income and consequently the management of rural businesses.
