Features: Since the reform and opening-up, China has achieved remarkable progress in the deep processing of agricultural products, forming an integrated system that covers research, development, production, and marketing, with a wide range of categories, advanced technology, abundant products, and smooth distribution. This system has made significant contributions to meeting people's living needs and accumulating resources for national economic construction. However, due to the relatively weak foundation in the research and development of storage and processing technology, as well as industrialization, the overall level of agricultural product deep processing in China remains low. Compared to developed countries, there is a significant gap in the technical quality management and standardization of the deep processing process of agricultural products.
After China joined the WTO, agricultural products and their deep processing enterprises face both opportunities and challenges. To enhance the competitiveness of China's agricultural and processed products in the international market, it is imperative to adopt advanced agricultural product deep processing technologies, improve the technical quality management and standardization of the production process, align with international standards, and implement the ISO 9000 series quality management system, as well as the technical quality management specifications of food enterprises, such as GMP and HACCP.
This book, based on the current status of fruit and vegetable storage and processing technology and quality management in China, systematically introduces the technical methods of fruit and vegetable storage, processing, and quality management. It strives to reflect the latest technological achievements at home and abroad and the advanced technical quality management standards, systems, and methods for agricultural products and their deep processing processes. The book aims to provide a new practical reference for technical quality management personnel in China's fruit and vegetable storage and processing enterprises. It can also serve as a teaching reference for relevant majors in food science and engineering at universities.
