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, seeds and forages. 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. Manuscripts on fresh food crops that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on food processes beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will not be considered.

Postharvest Biology and Technology专门发表有关生物和技术采后研究的原始论文、评论文章和前沿文章，包括新鲜园艺作物（包括水果、蔬菜、花卉和坚果，但不包括谷物、种子和饲料）的采后储存、处理和基础机制、质量评估、包装、处理和分销等领域。其特别鼓励报告基础和跨学科研究的新颖见解的论文。 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。
