Recent Advances in Biological and Technological Research of Fresh Fruit Vegetable

This Reprint is a collection from the Food Packaging and Preservation section of Foods, focusing on the research preface into the postharvest biology and preservation technology of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables are essential dietary nutrient sources, yet their short postharvest shelf life causes massive global losses, driving in-depth research in this field. This Reprint compiles pioneering studies that explore two core aspects of this topic: the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying postharvest ripening, senescence and physiological disorders of fruits and vegetables, and the development and application of innovative preservation technologies including physical treatments, biocontrol strategies, edible composite coatings and safe chemical treatments, with research covering various fruits, vegetables and fungi. Through the adoption of advanced analytical technologies like multi-omics, these studies bridge basic academic research and industrial application, providing important theoretical insights and practical technical solutions for reducing postharvest losses, extending shelf life, maintaining commercial quality, and serving as a valuable reference for relevant researchers and industry practitioners.
