POSTHARVEST BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY

The journal is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research. This includes the areas of postharvest storage, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling and distribution of fresh horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, flowers and nuts, but excluding grains and forages.Articles on their postharvest treatment as affecting the eventual quality of processed product may be included, but articles on processing of such crops beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will not be considered. Papers reporting novel insights from fundamental and interdisciplinary research will be particularly encouraged. These disciplines include systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, engineering, modelling, and technologies for nondestructive testing.

该杂志专门致力于发表关于生物和技术采后研究的原始论文、评论文章和前沿文章。这包括采后贮藏、处理和支撑机制、质量评价、包装、处理和分配新鲜园艺作物，包括水果、蔬菜、花卉和坚果，但不包括谷物和牧草。可能包括关于其采后处理影响加工产品最终质量的文章，但将不考虑除冷藏、包装和最低限度加工以外的关于加工这类作物的文章。特别鼓励报告基础研究和跨学科研究的新见解的论文。这些学科包括系统生物学、生物信息学、昆虫学、植物生理学、植物病理学、(生物)化学、工程学、建模和无损检测技术。
