The economic viability of orchard sanitation practices, is crucial for sustainable apple production. However, our knowledge in this area limited, particularly after the fruit stored high-energy-consuming ultra-low oxygen (ULO) storage system. objective 3-year study was to investigate cost-benefit ratios five treatments (lime sulfur-Lime-S, leaf collection-Collect-L, mulching-Mulch-C, lime sulfur + collection, collection mulching) integrated and organic orchards, considering sale apples 6-month ULO storage. Cost-benefit analyses determined cost, total revenue, revenue class 1 (fruits without scab infection) income surplus. Costs were twice higher (mean 3,064 EUR ha−1) than one 1,512 ha−1). Direct costs two combined significantly Lime-S Collect-L across all years systems.

Climacteric fruits undergo a characteristic ripening process regulated by ethylene, key plant hormone. Extending the shelf life of these while preserving their postharvest quality poses significant challenge for food industry. This review provides comprehensive overview physiological and molecular strategies to delay ethylene-mediated in climacteric impact on life, quality, sensory attributes, volatile compounds. Additionally, it examines role ethylene fruit ripening, analysing various managing including inhibitors, adsorbents, scavengers catalytic oxidation. concludes with future research directions genetic approaches reducing production or responsiveness fruits, integrated strategies, environmental considerations, commercial applications improving handling quality.

Background: Human population has been overexploiting natural resources for many decades. Consumerism drives a strong economy, but at the same time it degrades environment. The solution is to turn into sustainable development. In this study, our aim was determine how quest consumption perceived in current scientific literature; Methods: A total of 712 papers from Scopus, Web Science, and PubMed databases were investigated. Descriptive statistics VOSviewer (version 1.6.18.) Wordcloud software used further analysis. analysis involved investigating publication trends over time, engaged countries funding agencies, co-authorships, document types, thematic categories, development goals orientation, most frequently occurring words. Results: Word clouds created WordArt program based on titles abstracts indicated “food” be word. content articles analyzed three term clusters: (1) “food waste”, “waste”, security”; (2) “agriculture” “vertical farming”; (3) “energy”. Conclusions: Analyzed surpassed European Union, indicating global range striving sustainability. co-occurrence following (SDGs) study: no. 1 (“no poverty”), 2 (“zero hunger”), 3 (“good health well-being”), 6 (“clean water sanitation”), 7 (“affordable clean energy”), 8 (“decent work economic growth”), 9 (“industry, innovation infrastructure”), 10 (“reduced inequalities”), 12 (“responsible production consumption”), 13 (“climate action”), 14 (“life below water”), 15 land”).
