“…This work could be a perfect platform for understanding the advancements in food preservation techniques and its relevance to industry. The advent of nanotechnology in research and a combination of various advanced technologies as discussed in the literature (Butnaru et al 2019;Nile et al 2020;Rech et al 2020;Tsironi et al 2020) as well as in this manuscript could be the ''go-to'' technologies in the future. Thus, positive steps Fruits and vegetables are among the least expensive and fastest spoiling foods followed by milk and dairy products.…”

“…65 The PV-powered flash intercooled compression device is the most effective configuration for each food storage temperature but is economically feasible only for the highest food preservation temperature. 66 Less than 2% of India's total vegetables are processed for commercial purposes, compared to 70% in Brazil and 65% in the United States. Long-term fruit and vegetable processing is based on the substantial use of controlled atmosphere storage.…”

Technology plays a crucial role in fighting COVID‐19 pandemic. The COVID‐19 pandemic impacts all facets of human life, including food preservation and supply chain. The changes in the food processing and preservation brings changes to the global food choice. In the age of the COVID‐19 pandemic scare, the present article explores the framework for food security. It offers insights into food security with a focus on renewable energy to help rural farmers, besides, exploring the possibility of the diffusion of COVID‐19 via food chain. This article indicates that the implementation of stand‐alone and hybrid renewable energy systems is relatively fresh in food processing, preservation, and transportation chain. Green food preservation may be a revolutionary idea to address the challenges of the future to secure both producers and customers, besides, to improve the attractiveness of the ecological, economic, and creative sectors. This study reveals that the transformation can be achieved from a technological and economic point of view with the key steps to fulfill this goal in a cost‐effective manner. The observation also shows a suitable methodology to identify the best energy, economic and environmental scenario towards fulfilling the energy needs in isolated areas.

This paper presents design considerations for the design and implementation of stand-alone photovoltaic-powered containerized cold storage solutions for rural off-grid applications. The work presented is based on a case study of an off-grid photovoltaic-powered cold storage unit located in rural South Africa. Although solar-powered solutions for off-grid rural applications are very attractive and offer many benefits, including increased food security, skills development, income generation, and productivity due to the presence of solar power, the application of cold storage requires careful consideration of the design aspects to ensure that the solution is feasible and sustainable. The challenge of maintaining low temperatures inside a cold storage system in an excessively warm environment, such as that frequently encountered in most African rural settings, has stimulated discussions of design considerations for optimal efficiency. Not only are the design aspects of the PV panel mounting and tilt associated with the geographic location of the application, but the heating implications are also derived from the physical orientation of the storage unit. Results from mathematical models are substantiated with field data collected from a case deployment. The design considerations for the sizing of the electrical components in the system are presented. The paper concludes by answering the research question as to what design aspects should be considered for an off-grid, PV-powered containerized cold storage system to reduce the size of the battery storage unit.
