“…Low humidity poses a risk of moisture loss, leading to wilting and shriveling of the produce. On the other hand, high humidity can create a favorable environment for mold and bacterial growth [33], further contributing to the deterioration of fruits and vegetables.However, the correlation with temperature shows a positive relationship, indicating that our system correctly predicted or analyzed the storage conditions.…”

Efficient transportation of fruits and vegetables is crucial for proper storage, handling, and distribution directly influencing their quality, shelf life, and ultimately the price. Maintaining optimal storage conditions during the transport of fruits and vegetables is of utmost importance to preserve their freshness and quality. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a real-time assessment system that can ensure the highest quality and safety of fruits and vegetables throughout the supply chain network. This paper introduces an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled sensor network designed to address these challenges. The sensors are strategically deployed within the storage containers that continuously assessing real-time critical environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, pH, and air quality. These parameters significantly affect the storage of fruits and vegetables throughout the supply chain network. Furthermore, we have employed machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees, k-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, and Support Vector Machine, to measure performance in terms of accuracy, F1-score, precision, sensitivity, and specificity. The results indicate that the Support Vector Machine algorithm outperforms with the other algorithms with an impressive accuracy of 98.05%. Future research endeavors will focus on optimizing food supply chain loss.

“…Fruits, vegetables, meat products and dairy products are favoured for their high nutrient levels. However, the quality of these foods is inevitably affected by respiration, moisture evaporation and microbial infection during storage and transportation [131]. Carrageenan packaging can form a barrier on the surface of the food, separating the food from the external environment and reducing the impact of external factors on the quality of the food (Table 3) [129].…”

As a polysaccharide extracted from marine red algae, carrageenan has the advantages of biodegradability, nontoxicity and water solubility over petroleum‐based plastics for use as films and coatings for keeping food fresh. Aqueous solutions of carrageenan can be cast into films on plates and then made into food packaging bags, as well as coated directly onto food surfaces, all of which are referred to as ‘wraps’. To overcome the inherent limitations of carrageenan as a packaging material, physical and chemical modifications have been studied. The mechanical, thermal, barrier and antibacterial properties of modified carrageenan make it widely applicable for extending the shelf life of food products and monitoring its freshness. The research progress of carrageenan‐based wraps in recent years has been reviewed in terms of preparation methods, physicochemical properties, gelation mechanisms and applications, and the factors affecting the drying rate of them have been analysed. Finally, applications and future research directions of carrageenan are summarized and discussed to provide useful guidelines for further research.

“…Fruits and vegetables have high nutritional value but at the same time are the most perishable and difficult to preserve food. How to safeguard the quality of these perishable foodstuffs has long been a popular research topic. , Currently, the cold chain is an important means to extend the shelf life of these perishable foods. Generally speaking, these perishable foods are quickly cooled to a suitable temperature after picking and stored in cold storage for a certain time to extend their freshness.…”

This paper proposes an LIG-based flexible sensing and heating system for food monitoring (FTMS) for frost protection of food in cold storage. The FTMS integrates two major components: flexible temperature sensing and a flexible laser-induced graphene (LIG) heating patch. Factors affecting the performance of flexible LIG heating patches were investigated from the electrical, thermoelectric, and microscopic levels of the flexible LIG heating patches. The best performance of the prepared flexible LIG heating patches was achieved when the power was 12.5% and the scanning rate was 120 mm/s. In the simulation application phase, through this system, an antifrostbite test is carried out on oranges, pears, and other fruits; when the output voltage is about 3 V, it only takes 14−20 s from the time the fruit meets the cold damage to the time the temperature is pulled back to the set range, and the results show that this system could effectively resist frostbite and monitor the surface temperature of the fruits efficiently. It has a high application value in reducing food waste rates. In the future, we could look forward to its application in rare plant protection and high-value-added crop protection.
