As the world population is expected to rise to nearly eleven billion by 2050, a concomitant rise in the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables (FFV) is expected. FFV are highly perishable and constitute 20% of the global food wastage with nearly 30% of the losses occurring at the postharvest (PH) phase. This represents a challenge to ensure food and nutrition security for future generations. A proposed solution is the use of edible coatings incorporating natural ingredients that have the potential to reduce PH losses. Rising consumer demands for healthy, safe and sustainable food have translated to a greater acceptance of natural edible coatings. Edible coatings are hydrocolloid-based layers often applied to the surface of FFV to confer physical protection as well as extending shelf-life and consumer attraction. Although there has been extensive research on edible coatings, their widespread use has been limited due to a number of challenges such as a lack of standards and regulations, limited market research on consumer opinion and purchase intent, difficulties in scaling-up for industrial application and environmental sustainability concerns. This article attempts to shed light on the drivers fostering, as well as barriers impeding, commercial uptake of edible coatings in the FFV industry.

Spices and condiments, in addition to imparting seasoning they also possess medicinal values. The essential oils are the active principles of the condiments and spices. The combination of numerous essential oil fractions, not only enhances the values of the food as appetizers by imparting fragrances but also accredit the therapeutic values when used in the cooking. Spices such as Cinnamon, Cloves, Black pepper are enriched in essential oils with pharmaceutically active compounds like cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and piperine. Similarly, condiments like Coriander, Chili, Cumin, are recognized for constituents like allicin, curcumin, linalool, etc. These components hold antioxidants properties and for many diseases, works as naturally occurring defensive constituents. This work is intended to outline the medicinal potential of commonly used spices and condiments based on the findings and reports of recent research across South Asian countries where spices and condiments form chief flavoring components of traditional foods.

Ramadan not only has a religious value to the community but also adds value to the economy through both formal, structured as well as informal unstructured employment. As during Ramadan, food consumption patterns change as well as people's tendency to buy religious items also heightens, it is an important month for the street vendors and impacts their socio-economic position for the year. This paper deals with gaining insight on social orientation, business modality, perception on the effect of festivals and the real effect of Ramadan and pandemic on the revenue and cost. The evidence suggests that despite the presence of other religious and non-religious festivals, Ramadan remains the most critical time for street vendors to generate additional revenue. However, the effect is greater for carts selling processed foods and religious items. The selling of religious items usually face a steep downhill during non-Ramadan times which makes it unsustainable throughout the year. However, although the pandemic hit the regular review of the street vendor, during Ramadan times they didn’t have to lower the prices of items being sold due to the persistent demand.
