Ecological Footprint Analysis of Canned Sweet Corn

Abstract: There has been a notable increase in both consumer knowledge and awareness regarding the ecological benefits of green products and services. Manufacturers now pay more attention to green, environmentally friendly production processes. Two significant tools that can facilitate such a goal are life cycle assessment (LCA) and ecological footprint (EF). This study aimed to analyse and determine the damage to the environment, focusing on the canned fruit and vegetable processing. Canned sweet corn (340 g) was selec… Show more

“…Manufacturers are paying more attention to environmentally friendly production, life cycle assessment, and ecological footprints. Usubharatana and Phungrassami [290] determined the damage to the environment of canning sweet corn. Processing, packaging, and steaming of corn kernels contributes significantly to the ecological footprint of a single can of corn.…”

“…En cuanto a la escala de la investigación, la mayoría de estas son puntuales, solo Kissinger et al (2013) realizaron una investigación regional para analizar bienes de consumo de diez ciudades. Las unidades en que mostraron sus resultados fueron la mayoría en GHA (Castellani & Sala, 2012;Husain et al, 2021;Husain & Prakash, 2019;Kissinger et al, 2013;Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al, 2016;Usubharatana & Phungrassami, 2016;Zhang & Bai, 2021). Algunos utilizaron la unidad de hectómetros cuadrados (hm 2 ) (Liu et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…Las deducciones finales giraron en torno a las decisiones críticas para definir la UF (Freitas de Alvarenga et al, 2012;Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al, 2016;Zhang & Bai, 2021); la identificación de un mayor impacto de sus resultados por consumo de energía eléctrica y combustibles fósiles en sus procesos (Castellani & Sala, 2012;Usubharatana & Phungrassami, 2016); la creación de escenarios para mejorar los resultados de la evaluación de HE (Freitas de Alvarenga et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2020). Hay autores que afirman que la HE no es adecuada para la evaluación agrícola, e identifican los impactos ambientales del ACV que se obtienen por el método CML de SIMA PRO (Freitas de Alvarenga et al, 2012), pero otros aseguran que la HE se ve enriquecida con el ACV (Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al, 2016).…”

“…Consumer's awareness of food choices, the consumption of fresh, green products and the ecological environment in which they are produced is constantly growing. According to [25], the processing and packaging of maize kernels contributes significantly to the ecological footprint of a single can of maize, encouraging increased consumption of fresh produce. The authors of [26], based on their results of copper and zinc concentration tests, consider it important to use appropriate agricultural land for the production of sweet maize with precision farming methods.…”
