Abstract:
One-third of the food produced worldwide each year is lost or wasted, which results in both a financial loss and the waste of all the natural resources necessary for food production, processing, packaging, transportation, and marketing. We cannot afford to waste our natural resources if 28% of the world's agricultural land is used to grow crops that are wasted along with the water used to grow those crops. Fruit and vegetable waste output between harvest and consumer consumption is close to one-third, which is mostly attributable to long distribution routes and insufficient transport and storage methods. Our study aims to address this issue by creating a novel humidification system that delays fruit and vegetable decomposition, structural change, and moisture loss, so extending their shelf life. The mist makes the environment cold, damp, and non-toxic, which maintains quality and freshness. With the help of our technology, fresh produce is no longer stressed, its vitamins and polyphenols are better maintained, and its shelf life is extended, which reduces the number of fruits and vegetables that shops throw away. Misting systems keep food in the service case and in cold storage moist and help prevent deterioration. To keep your product appearing fresh and delectable, a specialized mist system is essential for preventing weight loss, shrinkage, and chemical composition degradation. You gain from greater sales in addition to the fact that customers can confidently buy high-quality, nutrient-dense fruit and vegetables that will keep fresher longer once they get them home by decreasing weight loss, extending, and retaining freshness. A properly constructed and fitted humidification mist system covers the entire room with moist air without producing excessive water droplets, keeping the floor surfaces dry. The fruits and vegetables will receive the appropriate amount of water at the appropriate times thanks to our completely automated system. Our misting system is simple to operate and maintain because it doesn't involve any additional labor.
