In regards to processing perishable crops, what's done to the crops the moment they are uprooted from the ground determines the ultimate quality of the said plant, to a really large degree. Whilst the name indicates, the work of handling the crop ( Dusting, cleaning, searching and packing the plants) following the crop, is called Post harvesting. It becomes a crucial part in control perishable food crops since these crops have a tendency to decline from the moment they're uprooted from the farms. Processed food products, fresh farm produce or whatever it's that the crop ought to be offered for, the out set of the article collection technology largely determines the quality of the processed food crop.
It's still a hard task to be achieved both due to lack of awareness or due to the lack of infrastructure, though it may seem as an obvious thing to do post harvesting the crop. Post crop usually consists of clearing up of the plants, removing moisture and lowering the rate of the chemical reactions that usually occur then. These chemical reactions may also occur, sometimes, when two plants are kept together, given a particular temperature. To avoid this and also to streamline the post harvesting functions lots of high priced equipment must be put in place like difficult sorting, packing, keeping and facilities for moving disposable crops about in storage areas are usually put in place, more so,if we are talking about a fully functional industrial size which comes equipped with conveyor belts for moving these crops around, cold-storage facilities,atmosphere-controllable storage equipment and sophisticated sorting and harvesting machinery.
The previously discussed advanced equipment, coupled with state-of-the-art technology managed efficiently with wonderfully trained staff must be able to battle with the time limited challenge of being able to produce the highest quality output, particularly with regards to the perishable food crops and thus becomes an essential element in the food processing chain.
Be it your house garden which provides some kind of perishables or a commercial product, two things have to be dealt with and considered carefully. Firstly, the plants must be culled (removal of damaged harvest things). Subsequently, the perishables need to be cooled immediately and maintained at that temperature in order to avoid further possible deterioration of crops and finally, the crops have to be handled skillfully and properly.
