Selecting Postharvest Technology Method for Citrus Fruit using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Ehime Prefecture is one of the main citrus fruit producing regions in Japan. As many as\ud 20 major citrus varieties are cultivated in Ehime annually.\ud The harvest of citrus fruit in a\ud large scale has brought the consequences in the postharvest deterioration. It could be\ud caused by many factors, including metabolic changes, (biochemical changes associated\ud with respiratory metabolism, ethylene biosynthesis and action, and compositional\ud changes), growth and development (anatomical and morphological changes), physical\ud injuries, water loss, physiological disorders, and pathological To reduce these losses, it is \ud suggested to apply proper handling methods or postharvest technologies that delay\ud senescence and maintain the best possible quality. There are some handling methods or\ud postharvest technologies that can be used to maintain the quality of citrus fruit, such as:\ud modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), controlled atmosphere storage (CAS), coatings,\ud hot water treatment, and etc. In this paper, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to\ud select the best postharvest method for preserving citrus fruit in Ehime. The ability of the\ud AHP to provide selection of the postharvest technology with process flexibility like\ud criteria selection, technology selection and criteria weightages allows its use by students,\ud researchers, entrepreneurs, technology facilitators, policy makers, et
