All Faculty - UC Riverside - Postharvest Technology Center

Adams, Doug O.

Biochemistry of fruit ripening in grape berries

Arpaia, Mary Lu

Postharvest handling of subtropical fruits.

Barrett, Diane

Specialist in Cooperative Extension, Fruit and Vegetable Products. Effects of raw material quality and processing on color, flavor, texture and nutritional quality of fruit and vegetable products.

Beckles, Diane

Carbohydrate metabolism – the synthesis, storage, interconversion and transport of carbon in plants

Bennett, Alan B.

Molecular biology of tomato fruit development; molecular basis of membrane transport; and protein targeting to the cell wall and vacuole.

Bostock, Richard M.

Biochemistry and molecular biology of plant-microbe interactions and postharvest disease resistance in stone fruits.

Dr. Bruhn's research focuses on consumer issues in food safety and quality, including consumer attitudes toward new food production methods or processing technologies. She investigates consumer food handling practices, quantifies food safety concerns, explores consumer information needs and identifies preferred sources of information. Further, her laboratory investigates consumer responses to information about issues in the news that impact health and safety.

Cantwell, Marita

Postharvest physiology, handling and storage of intact and fresh-cut vegetables.

Coggins, C.W.

Postharvest effects of plant growth regulators on horticultural crops

Cook, Roberta

Ext. Marketing Economist

Crisosto, Carlos

Postharvest biology and technology of fresh fruits

Delwiche, Michael J.

Electronic sensors and systems for postharvest sorting

Eckert, J.W.

Postharvest pathology of citrus and other horticultural commodities.

Harris, Linda J.

Microbial food safety of tree nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.

Inoue, Kentaro

Plastid biogenesis. Targeting and assembly of a protein translocation channel and its homolog in the outer envelope membrane of the organelle. Thylakoid membrane biogenesis. Carotenoid biosynthesis. Fruit color development.

Kader, Adel A. (1941-2012)

Postharvest biology and technology of fruits and nuts.

Krochta, John M.

Use of edible coatings to control moisture loss and respiration in fruits and vegetables and to reduce oxidative rancidity in nuts.

Labavitch, John M.

Studies of development-related cell wall metabolism, focus on wall metabolism in ripening fruits and in plants interacting with pathogens and insects.
