BACKGROUND The perishability of Brassica chinensis poses a major challenge to distribution and marketing. The aim of this work was to select a suitable modified atmosphere packaging to retain the overall quality and bioactive compounds during storage. RESULTS Four types of biorientated polypropylene packaging (BOPP)--BOPP03, BOPP04, BOPP05 and BOPP06--with different perforations were evaluate...

Mathematical models of drying are used for the purpose of understanding the drying process in order to determine important parameters for design and operation of the dryer. The jackfruit is a fruit with high consumption in the Northeast and perishability. It is necessary to apply techniques to improve their conservation for longer in order to diffuse it by regions with low consumption. This stu...

Soursop is a typical fruit with high nutritonal value. Its perishability of soursop and the short shelf life after harvesting are main difficulties in enhancing its potential market for fresh consumption. The (Annona muricata) usually transformed into juice, pulp concentrate. In order to accelerate valuable characteristics, present investigation wascarried out optimiz different parameters proce...

Due to the high perishability of figs, calcium stands out as an important nutrient for orchard management. This study aims pre-harvest applications chloride in fig orchards. The trees were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% CaCl2, fruits thereafter stored 7, 14 21 d. variables analysed concentration leaves fruits, weight loss, fruit decay, pectinolytic enzyme activity, physical chemical att...

Recently, market globalization and competition have forced companies to find alternative means to boost sales and revenue. The use of the cash flow is increasingly becoming a viable alternative for managers to improve their company’s profitability in a supply chain. In today’s business transactions, a supplier usually asks a manufacturer to pay via the advance-cash-credit (ACC) payment scheme i...

The ready-mix concrete supply chain is highly disruptive due to its product perishability and Just-in-Time (JIT) production style. A lack of technology makes the (RMC) industry suffer from frequent failures, ultimately causing high customer dissatisfaction loss revenues. In this paper, we propose first-ever digital twin (DT) system in RMC that can serve as a decision support tool manage risk ef...

It is estimated that in Portugal per year, 132 kg/person of food wasted due to imperfections weight, shape and their perishability, resulting foods cannot be marketed. Solar drying can used extend life. However, it usually does not meet the current productivity quality requirements dried product. energy renewable, very available Portugal, which make an important contribution reducing specific c...

Fish and other seafood products are essential dietary components that highly appreciated consumed worldwide. However, the high perishability of these has driven development a wide range processing, preservation, analytical techniques. This been accelerated in recent years with advent fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) technologies, digitally transforming almost every industry, includin...

In this supply chain, blood and products are investigated as a product from donor to patient. Specific characteristics of chain such perishability existence uncertainty in the structure have caused problems for planning regard. However, point should be considered that importance cannot compared perishable products. Life death issue is main difference between other Therefore, comprehensive model...
