Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food crops, including fruits, vegetables, and grains, require proper postharvest storage. Currently, a considerable amount of food crops produced globally is wasted before reaching consumers. In order to solve this crucial issue in the food chain, various postharvest storage technologies need to be applied and utilized. Considering extreme environment events such as high/low temperature, drought stress, insect damage, flooding, and crop-specific disorders during postharvest storage, commodity-tailored postharvest handling and storage treatment are required that will require an understanding of food crops’ physiology or biochemical reactions during storage or processes in order to meet the quality expectations of final consumers.
Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles that provide insights into all topics related to postharvest biology and the technology of food crops. The scope of submission includes all aspects of postharvest technologies including:
(1) non-destructive quality evaluation,
(2) modified atmosphere packaging or controlled atmosphere storage,
(3) storage or food crops disinfection,
(4) edible-coating,
(5) ethylene physiology and regulator agents (1-Methylcyclopropene),
(6) and other state-art-of-technologies or methods.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
