Citrus Fruit: Biology, Technology and Evaluation, Second Edition presents a comprehensive view of these globally important crops, from cultivars to consumer acceptability. Now fully revised and updated to address the latest technologies and advancements, along with an exploration of highly current topics, including the impacts of climate and COVID-19, the book presents fresh fruit scenarios from around the globe. Sections explore the challenge of losses, background on fresh citrus cultivars production, factors that impact fruit quality, morphology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of fruit, fruit maturity, grades, and physico-chemical characteristics before moving into aspects of post-harvest technology.

From irradiation and quality control to the nutritive, medicinal and safety aspects, the book presents the wide range of factors that can impact successful citrus crop production, delivery and consumption. Intended as a resource for researchers and scientists dealing with the growth, development and distribution of citrus fruit, the book provides up-to-date coverage on global citrus fruit production and practices.

Dr. Ladaniya has worked at ARS at Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru and the National Research Centre for Citrus (NRCC), Nagpur. During his tenure as the Director, NRCC was upgraded by the ICAR to the level of Central Citrus Research Institute. He has made outstanding contributions in developing post-harvest protocols for fresh citrus fruits and has laid a foundation of systematic post-harvest research on citrus fruits. His efforts led to development of quality standards for citrus and most of his technologies find place in package of practices published by APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Products Export Development Authority of India, Ministry of Commerce, India) for Nagpur mandarin. He is the President of the Indian Society of Citriculture and was also a crop (Citrus) Co-ordinator in All India Co-ordinated Research Project for Fruits. A new Regional Research Centre for Citrus (RRCC) has been started at Biswanath Chariali, Assam by CCRI under his stewardship.
