The cross-border trade of Fresh Agricultural Products (FAP) is widespread in the current society, and demand for it also increasing. fresh agricultural product Supply Chain (SP) itself has strong complexity high costs, bears many risks. In order to alleviate adverse impact risk factors interfering with SPs improve overall SP efficiency, this study proposes a system dynamics model based on facto...

Surface sterilization of fresh produce has been needed in the food manufacturing/processing industry. Here we report a UVA-LED (Ultra Violet A-Light Emitting Diode) system for surface sterilization that is safe, efficacious, low cost, and apparently harmless to fresh produce. To test the system, Escherichia coli strain DH5α was spot-inoculated onto vegetable tissues, and treated under UVA-LED. ...
