- Reviews recent advances in understanding and improving the major quality attributes of apples, including texture development and nutritional content
- Considers the utilisation of particular breeding and crop management practices to optimise fruit quality during the pre- and postharvest stages of production, including the use of preservation techniques such as hydrocooling and edible coatings
- Addresses the influence of the genetic and biochemical factors which can affect texture, flavour and the development of key nutraceutical compounds in apples

“The book is a ‘must have’, for it considers many complex and intertwined aspects from the consumer to genetics, to pre- and postharvest management, that impact and determine eating quality. This positions the book well for those young researchers starting a career on these topics.” (Book Review Published in Chronica Horticulturae – Professor Luca Corelli Grappadelli, University of Bologna, Italy and Chair ISHS Division Temperate Tree Fruits)
