Contents Preface; Contributors; Reviewers; 1 Introduction; 2 Fundamental Heat Transfer Theory for Thermal Treatments; 3 Temperature Measurement; 4 Physiological Responses of Agricultural Commodities to Heat Treatments; 5 Experimental and Simulation Methods of Insect Thermal Death Kinetics; 6 Biology and Thermal Death Kinetics of Selected Insects; 7 Thermal Control of Fungi in the Reduction of Postharvest Decay; 8 Disinfestation of Stored Products and Associated Structures Using Heat; 9 Considerations for Phytosanitary Heat Treatment Research; 10 Heat with Controlled Atmospheres
Summary This book, which consists of 13 chapters, provides fundamental and up-to-date published information on thermal treatments for the management of postharvest pests associated with agricultural commodity structures. Specific topics that are covered include: (i) regulatory issues for quarantine and phytosanitary treatments; (ii) basic information on temperature measurement, heat transfer, and thermal death kinetics of insects; (iii) biological responses of agricultural commodities and insect pests; (iv) biological responses of plants, insects and pathogens to heat; and (v) an introduction to current and potential quarantine treatments based on hot air, hot water, and radio frequency energy. This book should serve as an important resource for readers who are interested in knowledge, methods and strategies used in the development of environmentally friendly processes based on thermal energy. This book may also be suited for readers in the academe, industry and government
