Editorial Reviews
Genetic modification is one of the most important and
controversial issues facing the food industry. Drawing
on an international team of contributors, this book analyzes
the major impact of biotechnology on fruit and vegetable
cultivation and processing. It covers the range of traits
that have been the subject of modification and provides
case studies illustrating how genetic modification can
enhance these traits. In addition, the book explores the
vital issues of consumer attitudes and risk assessment.
It is an important contribution to a key area of debate,
and is essential reading for those involved in cultivation
and processing of fruit and vegetables.
