Monitoring and measurement are crucial activities in managing reducing the impact of food waste. In Europe, average waste per person was estimated at 131 kg, with approximately 10% originating from restaurants foodservice. Unfortunately, there is a lack detailed information regarding hospital settings. Despite this, effective management plays significant role environmental, social, economic well-being patients, closely linked to their nutrition recovery prospects. This research examines key studies on management, focusing practical implications identifying strategies for improving sustainability foodservice through artificial intelligence technologies. It explores emerging trends, opportunities, challenges measuring monitoring while considering patient satisfaction as critical factors sustainable healthcare systems, semi-integrative literature review. Precisely, amount day varies depending meal, breakfast about 0.08 lunch ranging 0.15 0.47 dinner between 0.11 0.48 highest values recorded lunch.

Incorporation of ground mustard seeds in an active packaging film: structural properties and controlled release of allyl isothiocyanate

International Journal of Food Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 59(7), P. 4979 - 4991

Published: June 3, 2024

Summary Ground mustard seeds can be incorporated into a packaging film material to have controlled release of allyl isothiocyanates (AITC). However, the properties loaded with ground need evaluated, since they might influence AITC from materials. This study aimed assess properties, including surface morphology, spectral analysis, crystallinity, moisture‐related, thermal and mechanical materials antimicrobial compounds. Furthermore, effects relative humidity on in headspace were investigated. The results showed that incorporating larger quantity resulted quicker due direct exposure moisture, as indicated by higher concentrations observed headspace. Meanwhile, smaller added maintained until 100 °C, resulting significantly better moisture‐related strength terms tensile strength, elastic modulus, strain at break. smallest ratio (1:5) no 75% 100% RH. led more headspace, which is potentially applied for high‐moisture food products.

Waste, the real villain: a comprehensive analysis and prospective perspective on food loss and waste in China

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: Nov. 12, 2024

Introduction One of the best ways to ensure food security is reduce Food Loss and Waste (FLW). However, China still confronts numerous obstacles in loss waste study because intricate industrial chain, wide range accounting standards, a lack data, among other reasons. Methods Using literature analysis method, 119 literatures were collected analyzed examine current status FLW at various stages after production throughout life cycle from perspectives time series research areas. Results The indicates that rates have been higher than 20% recent years are increasing. Among them, highest found harvesting stage (3–6%), storage (8–10%) consumption (10–17%). In addition, results huge resource endowments. Discussion environment resources profoundly affected by these substantial losses wastes, leading unnecessary depletion resources. As China’s focus on intensifies, an increasing number academics expected delve into this area, exploring dimensions such as ecological footprint assessment, innovative uses for waste, gathering primary data.
