The quality of fruit is determined by a wide range of desirable characteristics such as nutritional value, flavor, processing qualities, and shelf life. Fruit is an important source of supplementarydiet,providingminerals,vitamins,fibers,andantioxidants.Inparticular,theyare generallyrichsourcesofpotassium,folate,vitaminsC,E,andKaswellasotherphytonutrients such as carotenoids (beta-carotene being a provitamin A) and polyphenols such as flavonols (Saltmarshetal.,2003).Asimilar,butperhapsmoredisparate,groupofnutrientsisassociated with vegetables. Thus nutritionists tend to include fruits and vegetables together as a single “food group,” and it is in this manner that their potential nutritional benefits are normally investigated and reported. Over the past few decades, the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables has been linked to a reduction in a range of chronic diseases (Buttriss, 2012). This has led the WHO to issue a recommendation for the consumption of at least 400 g of fruits and vegetables per day. This in turn has prompted many countries to issue their own recommendationsregardingtheconsumptionoffruitsandvegetables.InBritainthishasgiven risetothefive-a-dayrecommendation.AportionintheUnitedKingdomisdeemedtobearound 80g;sofive-a-daycorrespondstoabout400gperday.Othercountrieshaveoptedfordifferent recommendations(Buttriss,2012),butallrecognizetheneedforincreasedconsumption. The rationale for the five-a-day and other recommendations to increase fruit and vegetable consumption comes from the potential link between high intake of fruits and vegetables and low incidence of a range of diseases. There have been many studies carried out over the last few decades. The early studies tended to have a predominance of case-control approaches whilerecentlymorecohortstudies,whichareconsideredtobemorerobust,havebeencarried out. This has given rise to many critical and systematic reviews, examining this cumulative TheMolecularBiologyandBiochemistryofFruitRipening,FirstEdition.

Description:
A comprehensive and mechanistic perspective on fruit ripening, emphasizing commonalities and differences between fruit groups and ripening processes. Fruits are an essential part of the human diet and contain important phytochemicals that provide protection against heart disease and cancers. Fruit
