Description: Postharvest research aims to improve the availability and quality of horticultural produce by developing new ideas and assessing these ideas by conducting experiments and following the scientific method. The scientific method requires a well-defined and reported experiment, which then ensures the validity and defines the scope of any subsequent conclusions. Sound statistical design and analysis of postharvest experiments are essential to the interpretation of results and inferences that can be drawn. Many of the tools that postharvest researchers use to design, conduct, and analyze experiments are sometimes misused, and consequently find their way into the literature. Poorly designed, and analysed experiments often lead to biased results and conclusions. This chapter is a collection of common problems encountered in postharvest technology research and suggested solutions to these problems.
