Aiming to increase the shelf life of food, researchers are moving toward new methodologies to maintain the quality of food as food grains are susceptible to spoilage due to precipitation, humidity, temperature, and a variety of other influences. As a result, efficient food spoilage tracking schemes are required to sustain food quality levels. We have designed a prototype to track food quality and to manage storage systems at home. Initially, we have employed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to detect the type of fruit and veggies. Then the proposed system monitors the gas emission level, humidity level, and temperature of fruits and veggies by using sensors and actuators to check the food spoilage level. This would additionally control the environment and avoid food spoilage wherever possible. Additionally, the food spoilage level is informed to the customer by an alert message sent to their registered mobile numbers based on the freshness and condition of the food. The model employed proved to have an accuracy rate of 95%. Finally, the experiment is successful in increasing the shelf life of some categories of food by 2 days.

Today, the most significant challenge encountered by food manufacturers is degradation in the food quality during storage, which is countered by expensive packing, which causes enormous monetary and environmental costs. Edible packaging is a potential alternative for protecting food quality and improving shelf life by delaying microbial growth and providing moisture and gas barrier properties. For the first time, the current article reports the preparation of the new films from Ditriterpenoids and Secomeliacins isolated from Melia azedarach (Dharek) Azadirachta indica plants to protect the quality of fruits. After evaluating these films, their mechanical, specific respirational, coating crystal elongation, elastic, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), film thickness, and nanoindentation test properties are applied to apple fruit for several storage periods: 0, 3, 6, 9 days. The fruits were evaluated for postharvest quality by screening several essential phytochemical, physiological responses under film coating and storage conditions. It was observed that prepared films were highly active during storage periods. Coated fruits showed improved quality due to the protection of the film, which lowered the transmission rate and enhanced the diffusion rate, followed by an increase in the shelf life. The coating crystals were higher in Film-5 and lower activity in untreated films. It was observed that the application of films through dipping was a simple technique at a laboratory scale, whereas extrusion and spraying were preferred on a commercial scale. The phytochemicals screening of treated fruits during the storage period showed that a maximum of eight important bioactive compounds were present in fruits after the treatment of films. It was resolved that new active films (1–5) were helpful in the effective maintenance of fruit quality and all essential compounds during storage periods. It was concluded that these films could be helpful for fruits growers and the processing industry to maintain fruit quality during the storage period as a new emerging technology.

Food Safety And Quality

The aim of this study is to investigate how the level of food safety and quality in Poland has changed after European Union accession. Poland’s accession to EU structures resulted in a number of economic, market and environmental changes. One of the most important areas of these changes is the food production and consumer supply sector. The conducted research is based on the results of controls performed by the main food control institutions in Poland. Research covers the areas of food quality and scale of irregularities revealed by control institutions, leading to changes in the level of food safety in terms of the health threats and economic security of consumers resulting from food falsification. Studies have shown that in the post-accession period, significant and multidirectional changes in the above-mentioned scope have taken place. Despite the proven presence of food with improper sanitary conditions, the Polish consumer is unlikely to be concerned about this. The situation is much worse in terms of economic security and food quality. The scale of irregularities in this respect is significant, and as the last years of the analyzed period show (after 2015), the phenomenon of decreasing food quality and even food falsification is growing.

Quality Of Food

One measure of the welfare of the Indonesian people depends on the quality of food and food supply for the community. This is indirectly related to the rights that consumers have. Consumer rights recognized by producers will make producers more careful about producing their goods and or services. But the fact is not all consumers understand their rights. Therefore producers tend to use this situation as land to gain more profits. When consumers get a loss for goods and or services produced by producers, consumers are indirectly forced to accept losses made by producers. On this basis, this study outlines the responsibility of producers for consumers who are harmed. This study focuses on the responsibility of food producers on food products produced, if the goods and or services produced harm consumers. Therefore, it is related to food products to quality standards and food quality. This study uses a normative juridical type, where the processing of legal materials is carried out in literature. The results obtained from this study are that the producers of the brains in sukabumi, Rika, are proven to produce their brains with hazardous materials, after the police found the basic ingredients of rotten fish, dangerous additives namely borax, and ready-made dough to be marketed to the surrounding market. The use of this material is not in accordance with statutory provisions.

And Function

Animal proteins are good sources of protein for human, due to the composition of necessary amino acids. The quality of food depends significantly on the properties of protein inside, especially the gelation, transportation, and antimicrobial properties. Interestingly, various kinds of molecules co-exist with proteins in foodstuff, and the interactions between these can significantly affect the food quality. In food processing, these interactions have been used to improve the texture, color, taste, and shelf-life of animal food by affecting the gelation, antioxidation, and antimicrobial properties of proteins. Meanwhile, the binding properties of proteins contributed to the nutritional properties of food. In this review, proteins in meat, milk, eggs, and fishery products have been summarized, and polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other functional molecules have been applied during food processing to improve the nutritional and sensory quality of food. Specific interactions between functional molecules and proteins based on the crystal structures will be highlighted with an aim to improve the food quality in the future.

Высокий уровень присутствия в обороте пищевой продукции некачественных и фальсифицированных продуктов питания определил необходимость разработки и внедрения государственной программы «Стратегия повышения качества пищевой продукции в Российской Федерации до 2030 года». При этом значительный акцент в Стратегии 2030 сделан на мониторинге качества пищевой продукции. В статье рассматриваются два возможных направления его реализации. Первое направление представляет собой ограниченный функционал мониторинга - определение качества пищевых продуктов, проводимое испытательными лабораториями (центрами), и передача данных (протоколов) в реестр информационной системы. Данное направление мониторинга ограничивает доступ некачественной продукции в торговый оборот, но при этом не позволяет влиять непосредственно на процесс повышения качества пищевой продукции в процессе производства. Второе направление предполагает непосредственное участие испытательных центров в управлении повышением качества продуктов на основе полученных результатов испытаний, разработки предложений по повышению качества продукции и передачи соответствующих документов производителю. Реализация данного направления подразумевает создание отраслевых центров мониторинга (ОЦМ) качества продукции на базе испытательных центров отраслевых институтов пищевого профиля в рамках Национального центра мониторинга качества пищевой продукции, создание которого является необходимым условием реализации Стратегии-2030. ОЦМ могут быть созданы на базе испытательных центров, обладающих достаточным потенциалом, в отличие от испытательных лабораторий с ограниченными возможностями. Оперативная связь ОЦМ с предприятиями в рамках мониторинга качества пищевой продукции не только сократит сроки реализации Стратегии-2030, но и позволит придать существенный импульс взаимодействию лабораторий НИИ с предприятиями пищевой отрасли страны. The high level of presence in the circulation of food products of poor quality and adulterated foods identified the need for the development and implementation of the state program «Quality Improvement Strategy of food products in the Russian Federation up to 2030». At the same time, a significant emphasis in Strategy-2030 is placed on monitoring the quality of food products. The article discusses two possible directions for its implementation. The first direction is limited monitoring functionality - determining the quality of foods, conducted testing laboratories (centers) and data transfer (protocols) in the register of information system. This monitoring direction restricts access of substandard products in the turnover, but it does not allow direct influence on the process of improving the quality of food products in the production process. The second direction involves the direct participation of test centers in the management of improving the quality of products based on the test results obtained, developing proposals for improving the quality of products and transferring the relevant documents to the manufacturer. The implementation of this direction implies the creation of a sectoral monitoring center (SMC) of product quality on the basis of testing centers of sectoral institutes of the food profile within the framework of the National Center for Monitoring Food Quality, the creation of which is a prerequisite for the implementation of the Strategy-2030. SMC can be created on the basis of testing centers with sufficient capacity, in contrast to testing laboratories with limited capabilities. SMC immediate connection with the companies within the food quality monitoring not only reduce the time implementation of the Strategy-2030, but will give a significant impetus to cooperation with the Research Institute laboratories enterprises of food industry of the country.
