“…Fruit and vegetable perishability is related to negative physiological changes, such as weight loss owing to respiration and transpiration, softening of flesh, and decline of defensive strength to pathogen infection. Such spoilage costs both merchants and retailers a huge sum of money [6]. One of the most essential techniques for reducing post-harvest losses in broccoli is to provide optimal quality-controlled store conditions as well as appropriate packaging materials.…”

Inadequate knowledge on the nutritional and shelf life of broccoli render growers and consumers to poorly utilize this vegetable. To disseminate proper information on nutrition and storage it's imperative to determine the nutrient content and shelf life of the modern cultivated broccoli cultivars. In this regard, five broccoli cultivars viz. Green Magic, Green Giant, Top Green, Early Green and Green Imported were evaluated to determine the nutritional and shelf life quality. A factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates was used for experimentation. Data were collected on different vitamin, minerals and storage conditions (temperature, packaging). Collected data were statistically analyzed with the help of computer program MSTATC. Outcomes noted that, under fresh condition highest free ascorbic acid content (49.11mg/100g) was recorded in Green Magic. Green Giant had the maximum amount (1.07 mg/100gm) of β-carotene, reducing sugar (4.10 g/100g) and non-reducing sugar (1.53 g/100g). Green Imported had the most content of iron (162.71 ppm), calcium (0.85%) and magnesium (0.33%); while most amount of phosphorus (0.24%) was noted in Green Magic. The peak amount of potassium (0.99 %) and magnesium (0.33%) was found in Green Giant. The longest shelf life was obtained from Green Magic at 4°C (21.83 days) under polyethylene packaging condition. Hence it was noted that, shelf life and temperature had a vice versa relationship.

“…According to earlier research, the consumption stage of the value chain can also result in significant losses or waste. Various studies applauded modernized value chains and technology, noting the importance of proper handling, transport and storage control, and stated that significant progress has been made in lowering post-harvest losses from field to storage (Chowhan et al, 2016). Nevertheless, for the small farmer to make economic profit further, it is also necessary to control losses higher up to the value chain.…”

Article HistoryTransportation and communication are the top factors that ensure the sustainability and development of a civilization. The more the world is growing the more scientists are in the way of discovering the most convenient way of communication and transportation system to make life easier. Due to geography, environment and climate food production is limited to specific areas. Thus, it is a challenging and gigantic task to maintain the supply chain worldwide. Consequently, this review depicts some key strategies to increase the efficiency of transportation system particularly the application of Internet of Things (IoT) in transportation systems. A thorough search of secondary data/ materials from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus were used to locate articles on smart agro-food transportation systems. The context analysis method was used to evaluate the selected articles. To continue a sustainable market linkage efficient vehicle utilization, backhauling, vehicle selection, on time and frequent delivery, third party logistics and transportation collaboration were noted with much importance. Successful integration of smart or intelligent transportation in agro-food item transportation will lead to less loss of perishable items and ensure the maximum utilization of time, money and visits. Overall, future of the food transportation system was found to be more technologically advanced in terms of the strengthening of ICT-based tools and applications of IoT. In the coming days agricultural food goods carriers should be completely automated, coordinated and equipped with emerging ICT tools including hardware and software.
