It discusses the factors that should be considered when designing and implementing CA/MAP systems, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and oxygen levels. The third part explores optimal conditions for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. It covers topics such as packaging, storage, and transportation, as well as the use of additives and preservatives to enhance the shelf life and maintain the quality of fresh-cut products.
Throughout the book, real-world examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the practical application of CA/MA techniques. These examples showcase the successful implementation of CA/MA systems in various industries, including supermarkets, grocery stores, and food processing facilities.
