“…To improve the shelf life and quality of fresh fruits and vegetables, cold storage should be managed properly with regard to temperature, relative humidity levels, air flow, space between storage containers, mixing of compatible produce (e.g., according to temperature demand, odor production and ethylene sensitivity), as well as the management of product in-and outflow, which should follow the 'First In, First Out' principle [28,33,41,42]. In fact, the principle is to store each crop separately and the climacteric products at similar maturity stages.…”

“…In other words, the reduction of storage temperatures by 10 • C will double the shelf life of horticultural crops [62], as presented in Table 4. Therefore, food deterioration can be addressed by controlling temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric composition (levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene), and the sanitation of storage facilities [16,20,42]. Temperature control in the cold storage of fresh crops is of paramount importance.…”

Precooling and Cold Storage Methods for Fruits and Vegetables in Sub-Saharan Africa—A Review

Fruits and vegetables, known for their large nutrient potential, are more susceptible to high postharvest loss than other crops. Factors such as perishability, poor post-production handling and storage and processing infrastructures, increase the magnitude of food losses. The postharvest loss of fruits and vegetables in Sub-Saharan Africa ranges from 30% to 50%. One key strategy to overcome such losses is through cold chain integration in value chains. However, most developing countries currently lack the basic infrastructure and management skills needed to support the development of integrated cold chains, particularly in rural areas, where up to 60% of overall food losses occur on the farm and in ‘first-mile’ distribution. Storage of highly perishable produce in a controlled environment with respect to temperature and relative humidity leads to quality and quantity preservation. This contributes to increases in food and nutrition security, household incomes and environmental protection. This review addresses the need for adopting and strengthening measures for the precooling and cold storage of fruits and vegetables to improve their value chains. A range of precooling and cold storage methods, their suitability, energy demands and the constraints on storage and distribution are discussed and recommendations are made on how to improve their accessibility for small-scale farmers in rural communities.

“…To increase the lifespan and nutritional value of fresh vegetables and fruits, the best possible control of cold storage conditions is required. These conditions include relative humidity levels, the distance between storage containers, temperature, mixing compatible produce, air flow, and product in-and outflow, which should follow the "First In, First Out" rule (You et al 2021) [41] . Actually, the idea is to preserve the climacteric goods at comparable stages of maturation and each crop individually.…”

As most fresh produced fruits and vegetables are perishable, they cannot be satisfactorily preserved under natural circumstances for an extended period of time. Conventional preservation techniques exists, nevertheless they have disadvantages like expensive manufacturing costs, short shelf lives, unwanted residue, etc. Therefore, cutting-edge techniques like cold chain, ozone, cold plasma, microwave heating, and UV-C (ultraviolet-C) non-ionizing radiation help maintain the vegetables and fruits fresh in addition to superior quality by lowering the microbial load. High surface to volume ratios and antibacterial effectiveness that prolongs shelf life are among the possibilities of nanotechnology.

“…Beyond its role as an important trait for the classification of asparagus, the pigmentation of spears has been correlated with anti-hyperglycemic, anti-cancer, and anti-mutagenic health benefits ( You et al., 2021 ). Asparagus pigmentation is largely due to anthocyanins, which are one of the largest and most important groups of water-soluble pigments in the plant kingdom.…”

The Asparagus genus includes approximately 240 species, the most important of which is garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.), as this is a vegetable crop cultivated worldwide for its edible spear. Along with garden asparagus, other species are also cultivated (e.g., Asparagus maritimus L.) or have been proposed as untapped sources of variability in breeding programs (e.g., Asparagus acutifolius L.). In the present work, we applied reduced-representation sequencing to examine a panel of 378 diverse asparagus genotypes, including commercial hybrids, interspecific lines, wild relatives of garden asparagus, and doubled haploids currently used in breeding programs, which enabled the identification of more than 200K single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These SNPs were used to assess the extent of linkage disequilibrium in the diploid gene pool of asparagus and combined with preliminary phenotypic information to conduct genome-wide association studies for sex and traits tied to spear quality and production. Moreover, using the same phenotypic and genotypic information, we fitted and cross-validated genome-enabled prediction models for the same set of traits. Overall, our analyses demonstrated that, unlike the diversity detected in wild species related to garden asparagus and in interspecific crosses, cultivated and wild genotypes of A. officinalis L. show a narrow genetic basis, which is a contributing factor hampering the genetic improvement of this crop. Estimating the extent of linkage disequilibrium and providing the first example of genome-wide association study and genome-enabled prediction in this species, we concluded that the asparagus panel examined in the present study can lay the foundation for determination of the genetic bases of agronomically important traits and for the implementation of predictive breeding tools to sustain breeding.
