is on a steady rise across the globe,which is puttingincreasing stress on vegetable processing industries to handle the produce efficientlyand ensure its safety for longer durations.Given the highly perishable nature ofvegetables,timely post-harvest handling and suitable processing are crucial toreduce losses,maintain quality,and improve value addition.The fruits and vegeta-ble processing industries involve several unit operations aimed at converting rawproduce into finished,durable,and nutritionally secure products.  \nThe book entitled Nutraceutical Values and Processing Techniques of Gourds asVegetables has been conceptualized to address the academic and professional needsof graduating students,scientists,professors,and researchers working in this fieldand allied disciplines.In the proposed book,every chapter is planned with simpleillustrations,diagrams,and charts to ensure easier understanding of the fundamen-tals,concepts,and processes.In addition,relevant research findings have beenincorporated to make the text comprehensive and evidence-based.  \nThe text begins with an overview of gourds,presenting a detailed account oftheir global production status and importance.Subsequent chapters focus upon keyvegetable gourds,namely,ash gourd,bitter gourd,ridge and sponge gourd,bottlegourd,snake gourd,spiny gourd,ivy gourd,pointed gourd,cucumber,and applegourd.Each chapter discusses their post-harvest management,medicinal and nutra-ceutical values,fruit processing aspects,and the potential utilization of by-productssuch as peel and seeds in diverse applications.  \nThe book has been structured to benefit a wide range of readers.Stude","cbCaidNEFoipOmpA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidNEFoipOmpA","pdf",39640729,351,"English","# Preface\n##
