Cooperate with breeders and others evaluating new crops or new cultivars for California growers to assess at-harvest quality (appearance, composition and sensory flavor) and changes in such quality during postharvest handling and storage.   Identify optimum postharvest handling conditions for maintaining quality, particularly flavor quality and determine the effect of various postharvest practices, such as treatments for disease and insect control, on the quality of the fruit or vegetable.
