Packaged Food

Fresh food with a long shelf life with little or no preservatives is being a hot issue. In response to the issue, various forms of packaging technology innovation were created, such as smart packaging and active packaging. The packaging innovation in this study was designed to provide quality assurance of packaged food to consumers, especially for Tuna fillets. The purpose of this study was  to determine the color change profile of smart indicator labels, to determine the effectiveness of active paper (addition of garlic extract 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) when applied to Tuna fillets stored at room  temperature (28 ± 2oC), and  to find out the level of correlation between smart indicator labels and active paper against various parameters of Tuna fillet rot test like total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), total bacteria (TPC), and pH. All these parameters were tested at room temperature every 2 hours until  12 hours with two replications. The results obtained showed that the smart label indicator changed  color from dark red to yellow when the fillet was decomposed. Active paper with the addition of garlic extract concentration of 15% had the best effectiveness in minimizing the occurrence of  any deterioration in the Tuna fillets during storage, which was then followed by a concentration of 10%, 5%, and 0%. The level of correlation between the value of the smart indicator color analysis and the effectiveness of the active paper on various fish rot test parameters showed a positive correlation which showed the same tendency pattern in the detection rate of the decomposition of Tuna fillet.

Fresh Food

Farmers markets are regular, recurring gatherings at a common facility or area where farmers and ranchers directly sell a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other locally grown farm products to consumers. Markets rebuild and maintain local and regional food systems, leading to an outsized impact on the food system relative to their share of produce sales. Previous research has demonstrated the multifaceted impacts that farmers markets have on the communities, particularly economically. Recent scholarship in the United States has expanded inquiry into social impacts that markets have on communities, including improving access to fresh food products and increasing awareness of the sustainable agricultural practices adopted by producers, as well developing tools for producers and market stakeholders to measure their impact on both producers and communities. This paper reviews the recent scholarship on farmers markets to identify recent trends and synthesizes the current evidence describing the ways in which farmers markets contribute to the wellbeing of their communities, as well as identifying areas for additional future research.

Potential Integration

Current social and environmental challenges have led to the rethinking of residential designs. Global warming, food insecurity, and, as a result, costly fresh produce are some of the causes of the reconsideration. Moreover, with obligatory isolation following the global COVID-19 pandemic, some are realizing the importance of nature and air quality in homes. This paper explores the potential integration of indoor living walls (ILWs) in Canadian homes for agricultural and air purification purposes. By reviewing a number of case studies, this paper investigates how the development of such walls can alter the traditional food production chain, while reducing environmental threats. The findings show that current indoor living wall practices can be transformed into a useful source of fresh food, and, to some degree, alter traditional food supply. They can also help in creating inexpensive methods of air purification.
