High Quality Product

The instant rising demand of plant-based drugs is unfortunately creating heavy pressure on some selected high-value medicinal plant population in the wild. The safety, quality and efficacy of these products have become a major concern for health authorities and the consumers. Unavailability of proper production technology and suitable area of cultivation, post-harvest processing, market constraints and low economic returns as compared to major cereal crops, are the main problems in cultivation of these herbs and spices. Safe, efficacious and a high-quality product showing batch to batch consistency can be maintained by following harvesting and post harvesting standard guidelines for MAPs (Medicinal & Aromatic Plants).

Pear (Pyrus Spp L.) is one of the most harvested temperate fruit crop right after Apple. Pear belongs to the family Rosaceae along with some best known temperate tree fruits. Pear being one of the popular temperate fruit but is having a short storable life under room temperature conditions. The capability of being able to manage keeping quality of the stored fruit is must during the post harvest storage of the crops along with being able to increase the storable life of those fruits. Various post harvest technology are being used to sustain the fruit's keeping quality and also to increase those fruits storable time period. Being a crop prone to decay, diseases such as fungal diseases (mould) and short shelf life different researcher has recommended the use of different chemicals to preserve the quality as well as increase the storage lifetime of the fruits. Chemical such as Calcium have been proven to be effective in this post harvest management of fruits by having effects on the physiochemical fruits.

Growing Conditions

The aim of this review is a wide description of the relationships between growing conditions and bulb yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.), focused particularly on long-day cultivars suitable for storage. Marketable yield decreases according to the reduction of crop length caused by the increase of growth temperature. The nutritive requirements of storage onion are highest during the vegetative growth. The application of humic substances and the inoculation of mycorrhizae may enhance bulb growth and quality, mainly under stress conditions. Onion is a slow-growth, shallow-rooted crop with non-shading habitus and therefore its productivity is highly dependent on water availability in the soil, proper fertilization and weed control. The shelf-life of onion bulbs is a genetic trait, improvable by efficient crop and post-harvest management, and adequate conditions of bulb storage. The quality of storage onion bulbs is ascribed to several indicators, such as thiosulfonates, pyruvic acid, soluble solids, sugars, and many other biological compounds. This review is also focused on onion quality as affected by the interactions among genotype, environment, farming practices and post-harvest management.

Strelitzia Reginae

<p>The marketing of strelitzia (<em>Strelitzia reginae</em>) has been increasing due to its beauty, exotic colors and high post-harvest longevity. It has potential to increase also in international exports, however this has been limited by the scarcity of information on the flower post-harvest management and packaging. Therefore, this study aimed to further the technology of strelitzia postharvest to maintain high quality of the product and to select a packaging system suitable for export, ensuring high quality to the final consumer. The damages of the stem and the petal color on the buds of Strelitzia reginae were evaluated and it was observed that the stalks harvested with closed buds had extended longevity, while the flower stalks harvested with the first opened button had the highest flower opening rate. As for mechanical damage, the sleeve net protection most affected the visual appearance of the flowers. The cardboard box packaging showed the lowest percentage of damage in the stems.</p>

Abstract: India is a country with a booming population and limited resources. 40 % of food grains are being wasted annually out of the world’s production due to factors like improper post-harvest management, lack of storage spaces, storage facilities, handling and distribution of food grains, etc. Thus an effective solution is required to bridge the gap between surplus production and hunger. The objective of our project is to develop methods for retaining the quality of food grains under a controlled environment for effective storage and distribution. Automation using sensors helps to prevent illegal racketing with data collection, monitor storage conditions like temperature and humidity levels, and eliminate man-to-man contact. When dispensed, the level and quantity of the grains can also be recorded. Thus, this machine is better than the existing manual methods of distribution as it acknowledges fair distribution and quality preservation. Keywords: Smart storage, proper distribution, sensors, post harvest losses, grain quality

Proper Management

Despite the fact that tomato is the most cultivated vegetable in Portoviejo, there is still a need for change in the production farms with respect to the post-harvest handling of the product. The work shows an analysis of the results of inadequate post-harvest management of tomatoes, which was carried out as part of a research teaching work at the Paulo Emilio Macías Higher Technological Institute. The problem is centered on the lack of good post-harvest management practices for tomatoes on farms in the Portoviejo canton. The study was applied to 20 producers from 5 populations of rural Portovejenses, whose objective was to determine and quantify post-harvest losses, in the harvest-marketing phase, analyzing the decrease in the quality of the vegetable, due to handling factors, packaging, and transport conditions between farms and the commercialization center. The results obtained show that good post-harvest practices are not carried out and that the producers are unaware of the importance of proper management during collection, transport, and marketing, concluding that it is necessary to create a post-harvest management guide for the cultivation of tomato, to be applied in farms of the Portoviejo canton.

School Food Environment

This paper examines the changes to procurement for school food environments in Canada as a response to changes to nutrition regulations at the provincial level. Interviews with those working in school food environments across Canada revealed how changes to the nutrition requirements of foods and beverages sold in schools presented opportunities to not only improve the nutrient content of the items made available in school food environments, but also to include local producers and/or school gardens in procuring for the school food environment. At the same time, some schools struggle to procure nutritionally compliant foods due to increased costs associated with transporting produce to rural, remote, or northern communities as well as logistic difficulties like spoilage. Although the nutrition regulations have facilitated improvements to food environments in some schools, others require more support to improve the overall nutritional quality of the foods and beverages available to students at school.
