“…The importance of various preharvest factors (e.g., cultivar, agronomic practices, climatic conditions, degree of maturity at harvest time, time of harvest, and prevalence of diseases and pests) (Tijkens et al, 2003;Gruda, 2005;Hewett, 2006;Moretti et al, 2010;Tibaldi et al, 2011;Fanourakis et al, 2013b;Luna et al, 2013;Tudela et al, 2013) and postharvest factors (e.g., storage conditions, packaging and processing, transport and distribution) (Watada et al, 1996;Chiesa, 2003;Moretti et al, 2010) for the postharvest quality of horticultural products have been previously reported. Among the environmental preharvest factors, relative humidity (RH) (Rezaei Nejad and van Meeteren, 2005;Islam et al, 2010;Fanourakis et al, 2011Fanourakis et al, , 2013bAliniaeifard, 2014;Aliniaeifard and van Meeteren, 2016) and lighting conditions (Slootweg and van Meeteren, 1991;Fjeld et al, 1994;Mortensen and Fjeld, 1998;Mortensen andGislerød, 1999, 2011;Pettersen et al, 2007;Arve et al, 2013;Witkowska, 2013;Islam et al, 2014;Mortensen, 2014;Ouzounis et al, 2016) attracted lots of attention for their impact on postharvest quality of horticultural products.…”
