Properly designed and implemented specialized storage objects guarantee specialist storing of the discussed group of agricultural products. They make independent the whole process of  storage, improving and the trade of goods from conditions of the outside climate. Storage spaces and cold stores are currently a highly specialized group of objects of the food industry infrastructure. The program of the designed object  constitutes the basis for the forming of its functional arrangement and the form of the object. In the storage building it is subordinate to the technology and the functional and spatial arrangement of the building follows the arrangement of the technological thrust. The object being a casing of the technological process of storing should form a possibly closed and tight microclimatic space and the building partition system along with an air-conditioning units should enable to keep adequate parameters of the interior microclimate on a particular level. The factors of the microclimate influencing the storage conditions are: temperature, relative humidity of air, gas composition of the atmosphere surrounding agricultural products and the air movement in the storage space.

This study, carried out by the Quebec Dairy Herd Analysis Service, compares (during summer conditions in Quebec) the performance of three types of preservatives for raw milk under four different systems of sample storage: no refrigeration, refrigeration at the laboratory only, refrigeration during transport and at the lab, and complete refrigeration from sampling at the farm to analysis. The objective was to determine the best preservative and storage conditions for protecting milk components during transportation and storage of raw milk samples collected at the farm and sent to a central testing lab for analysis. Milk samples were analyzed at day 3 and at day 7 after sampling to observe the effect of aging. A total of 12,480 samples were collected during the trial. The components studied were percentage of fat and protein and somatic cell count (SCC). In general, samples preserved with bronopol (2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol and 2-bromo-2-nitropropanol) in liquid or in microtab tended to give higher readings for fat and protein contents than samples preserved with potassium dichromate. Significantly lower fat values were observed in 7-day-old samples compared to 3-day-old samples. Fat depression was more accentuated in nonrefrigerated samples. Under current methods of handling raw milk samples, refrigeration during the whole process of sampling, transportation, and until analysis, seems an ideal to attain to avoid significant reductions of fat values.

Food Residues

Adequate management of biomass residues generated by agricultural and food industry can reduce their negative impacts on the environment. The alternative use for agricultural waste is production of biogas. Biomass feedstock intended as a substrate for the agricultural biogas plants may include energy crops, bio-waste, products of animal and plant origin and organic residues from food production. This study reviews the potential of selected biomass residues from the agri-food industry in terms of use for agricultural biogas production in Poland. The most common agri-food residues used as substrates for biogas plants in Poland are maize silage, slurry, and distillery waste. It is important that the input for the agricultural biogas installations can be based on local wastes and co-products that require appropriate disposal or storage conditions and might be burdensome for the environment. The study also discusses several limitations that might have an unfavourable impact regarding biogas plants development in Poland. Given the estimated biomass potential, the assumptions defining the scope of use of agricultural biogas and the undeniable benefits provided by biogas production, agricultural biogas plants should be considered as a promising branch of sustainable electricity and thermal energy production in Poland, especially in rural areas.

Rosehip (pseudo-fruit) of dog rose ( Rosa canina L.) is highly valued, and owing to nutritional and sensory properties it has a significant place in the food industry. This work represents an innovative report focusing on the evaluation of the phytochemical composition of rosehips (hypanthium and seed) grown in different locations in Serbia, using Raman microspectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis. Some significant differences arose between the analysed rosehip samples with regard to the chemical profile of both hypanthium parenchyma cells and seed, although no evident discrimination was recorded between the samples of wild and cultivated rosehip. The differences between the hypanthium samples compared were mainly determined by the content of carotenoids, phenolic compounds and polysaccharides, whereas phenolics, polysaccharides (pectin, cellulose and hemicellulose) and lipids (to a lower extent) contributed to the seed sample discrimination. The differences observed between the rosehip samples may be attributed to abiotic factors (growing, ripening and storage conditions), which had a significant impact on the carotenoid and polyphenols biosynthesis.

The Center for Disease Control estimates 128,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized annually due to food borne illnesses. This has created a demand for food safety testing targeting the detection of pathogenic mold and bacteria on agricultural products. This risk extends to medicalCannabisand is of particular concern with inhaled, vaporized and even concentratedCannabisproducts.As a result, third party microbial testing has become a regulatory requirement in the medical and recreationalCannabismarkets, yet knowledge of theCannabismicrobiome is limited. Here we describe the first next generation sequencing survey of the microbial communities found in dispensary basedCannabisflowers and demonstrate the limitations in the culture-based regulations that are being superimposed from the food industry.

Nowadays, probiotic bacteria are extensively used as health-related components in novel foods with the aim of added-value for the food industry. Ingested probiotic bacteria must resist gastrointestinal exposure, the food matrix, and storage conditions. The recommended methodology for bacteria protection is microencapsulation technology. A key aspect in the advancement of this technology is the encapsulation system. Chitosan compliments the real potential of coating microencapsulation for applications in the food industry due to its physicochemical properties: positive charges via its amino groups (which makes it the only commercially available water-soluble cationic polymer), short-term biodegradability, non-toxicity and biocompatibility with the human body, and antimicrobial and antifungal actions. Chitosan-coated microcapsules have been reported to have a major positive influence on the survival rates of different probiotic bacteria under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions and in the storage stability of different types of food products; therefore, its utilization opens promising routes in the food industry.

These apparently mundane and pedestrian topics have grown in world economic importance recently, and such currently fashionable words and phrases as conservation, total world supplies, waste prevention, must now be involved under these headings. Good storage conditions are probably more involved with temperature than any other single physical factor. The correct temperature can lie anywhere between -40 and +40 °C, depending on the food and ‘life’ expectancy. In the past, the food industry did not always give proper priority to the provision of good storage facilities. This attitude has latterly changed as the community and the industry have become aware of the benefits. Shelf life is the activity by which the food technologist ensures that the product reaches the consumer in the best possible condition. It is properly determined by experiment, taking into account conditions of storage, transport, packaging, microbiological and biochemical deterioration. Shelf-life information must be communicated to distributor, retailer and consumer in a meaningful and uncomplicated manner. The next decade will see greater effort and expenditure put into understanding and exploiting the better storage and freshness of food to the advantage of the community.
