PhD Oral Defense of Patrick Cortbaoui, Bioresource Engineering

One-third of global food produced for human consumption, which amounts to about 1.3 billion tons, is lost or wasted annually. Measuring postharvest losses is an essential operational strategy to enhance postharvest management and to curtail quality loss of fresh horticultural commodity. The goal of this study was to develop and test different methods that characterize and quantify postharvest losses of cucumber and eggplant in St. Kitts-Nevis and Guyana. The study also allowed investigating the influence of temperature and light on quality changes during handling practices of freshly harvested crops.
