5 useful resources you?ll find on the UC Davis Postharvest Technology website

Each year we visit UC Davis for awesome Postharvest Technology workshops on topics ranging from ripening to produce quality. Even after attending the same workshops multiple times, we still come away with new and useful information. In fact, our staff references the UC Davis Postharvest Technology website, as well as resources we’ve obtained through workshops, on a weekly basis for our own work and to assist our customers. Below are five science-backed resources you’ll find on the UC Davis Postharvest Technology website that we think are super useful for a postharvest pro. 1. Storage RecommendationsWondering how to store your commodity? Check out the UC Davis Postharvest Tech center’s storage recommendations which include recommendations for temperature, humidity, length of time, ethylene production, and CA conditions. 2. Produce Fact SheetsEverything you ever wanted to know about a specific variety of fresh produce (and maybe even more than you wanted to know) can be found in the Produce Fact Sheets on the Postharvest Technology site. Simply click on one of the cute little illustrated commodity buttons to see facts ranging from rates of ethylene production, maturity indices, disorders, and more! 3. PublicationsLooking for scientific research on a specific commodity or postharvest topic? The publication database on the UC Davis Postharvest site is a great place to begin. They have over 1,700 different publications that are searchable and categorized by topic. 4. Book ReviewsIn the market for a new postharvest read this year? Check out the Book Reviews section of the UC Davis Postharvest website for a list of excellent postharvest literature, complete with specific reviews written by UC Davis Postharvest faculty. 5.
