Consumers around the world demand food of high quality, without chemical preservatives and with extended shelf life. Hence, there is a need to search for a sustainable food technique and innovative engineering solutions that could increase agricultural productivity, food security, a post-harvest extension of fruits and vegetables and decrease the rate of poverty and malnutrition, besides the maintenance of ecologically sustainable ways of food production. Evaporative Coolers for food and land-based engineers is a two set of volumes that discuss the practical application, construction, and operation of the technology. Evaporative for the postharvest management of fruits and vegetables brings the practical application of evaporative coolers based on the principles and ideas as presented in volume 1. There is a strong focus on postharvest management and fruit/vegetable science, as high moisture foods are highly perishable. Special emphasis is laid on the impact of the evaporative coolant structure on the nutritional and food safety content of several fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables were highlighted. Moreover, the book covers the effect of evaporative coolant structure towards the reduction of spoilage microorganisms responsible for the spoilage of post-harvest losses of various fruits and vegetables. Edited by a team of specialists, this title also helps people dealing with microbiology, besides nutritionists, to understand how this simple technology can help to improve the product quality for those communities that currently lack to have access to cooling/ have only unreliable power supply.
