Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing edited by Y. H. Hui

Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing is an indispensable resource on the scientific principles and technological methods for processing fruits of all types.

Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing describes the processing of fruits from four perspectives:

• scientific basis
• manufacturing and engineering principles
• production techniques
• processing of individual fruits

Part 1 covers scientific knowledge of the horticulture, biology, chemistry, and nutrition of fruits.

Part 2 presents the technological and engineering principles involved in processing fruits and their commercial production. As examples, the manufacture of several categories of fruit products is discussed.

Part 3 discusses individual fruits, covering their harvest to a finished product in a retail market.
