Abstract
A graphical, unified, and rational toolbox was developed to support practitioners in designing optimal packaging of fruits and vegetables. Herein, we validate the proposed methodology with real examples on fresh produce by means of novel data and literature results on blueberries, figs, and tomatoes. Also, a comparison with a literature design method is included to showcase the strengths of our toolbox, which simplifies and overcomes the current case-by-case procedures. The proposed method leverages four characteristic parameters which fully define a packaging solution in a straightforward manner.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
