“…A cold chain can be defined as a logistics environment (covering storage, handling, and transport) maintained within specified temperature ranges (Higgins et al 2009). Currently maintaining a cold chain should extend to a consumer's home (Jevšnik et al 2008;Ovca andJevšnik 2009, Joshi et al 2010). This means that the household storage process is perhaps one of the most critical stages of the cold chain (Baar et al 2005;James et al 2008).…”

“…This means that the household storage process is perhaps one of the most critical stages of the cold chain (Baar et al 2005;James et al 2008). Researchers suggest that domestic storage is the weakest link in the entire chilled-chain with inadequate temperature control and handling (Jevšnik et al 2008;James et al 2008). Many home refrigerators used as the cold storage are running at higher than recommended temperatures (James et al 2008).…”

With continuous rise of table grapes consumption and increased public awareness of food safety, the quality control of grapes in storage after purchase is not sufficiently examined. Home storage constitutes the last and important stage in grape supply chain. Literature review shows that few researches on grape quality focus on the home storage stage compared with numerous researches reported on the quality control during postharvest and transportation process. This paper reports the performance evaluation of grape quality at home storage and consumers' satisfaction using integrated sensory evaluations. The internal attributes, including Texture, Taste and Odor of the table grapes and the appearance indices, Color and Cleanliness are examined. Key results show that during home storage, all the internal attributes decrease rapidly as time goes on, and cleanliness and color appear to be deteriorating in a lower speed. A comprehensive quality index was created to measure the quality of table grape which has high correlation with the Overall acceptability perceived by consumers.

“…Moreover, this outbreak has become a burden on millions of people worldwide annually, or about one-third of the global population (WHO, 2004). Food contamination generates an enormous social and economic encumbrance on communities and their health systems (Jevsnik, Hlebec, & Raspor, 2007). Hence, food related infection becomes a common health concern in many countries.…”

The research is designed as a case study of students in Taiwan. It uses the quantitative method by questionnaire distribution. There are 369 participants in this study. The findings denote knowledge has positive impact students' on both their attitude and behavior. Furthermore, the result shows the need to enhance knowledge of students as well as their confidence in food safety issue. Thenceforth, this brings out some practical contribution for the academia, food industry and government. Besides, the improved model is suggested in theoretical contribution.

Abstract-In order to allow consumers to trace to the whole process of beef breeding, production and processing after purchasing beef, to achieve smart, fast and practical goals for quality and safety of beef traceability system, B / S (Browser / Server) mode architecture is used to build quality beef traceability system based on RFID technology in this paper. First, the system is analyzed, the structure and database system are designed and the key technologies to achieve traceability system is explored, including the individual identification of cattle, data encoding, data synchronization technology between the business and the central database and multi-platform tracing techniques.Through the use of RFID technology, all aspects of information for each head of beef cattle from breeding, slaughtering, processing, cold chain storage and transportation can be tracked and traced, and a quality retrospective file which can be queried on the Internet network for each head of beef cattle is formed. Solve the problem which the origin of beef production can be quality controlled and is traceability. The system implements safety warning function for cattle breeding epidemic and product quality, so it can ensure the safety of beef products from all aspects of production management. Finally, the renderings of system implementation are gained.
