Pineapple is a popular but highly perishable fruit with a shelf life of less than four days. When minimally processed, it must be sold and consumed at a much shorter time. The objective of this paper is to present the usual handling methods and suggest improvement in the system to come up with acceptable quality and safe pineapple. The operations in the handling of fresh and minimally processed `Smooth cayenne' pineapple were documented. Improvements in the handling system based on simulated laboratory scale studies were presented
