“…Cumulative lethality models have been extensively used to quantify the net time-temperature lethality, for example, in food sterilization processes 48 . They have been used to evaluate the process safety, such as in the canning of foods or pasteurization of milk 49,50 . The model is based on the intrinsic thermal death kinetics of the target entity of the process.…”

Supply chains of fresh fruit must maintain a very narrow window of hygrothermal conditions after harvest. Any excursions outside this range can markedly lower the consumer acceptability of the fruit. However, the loss in fruit quality and marketability largely remains invisible to stakeholders throughout the supply chain. Here, we developed a physics-based digital twin of citrus fruit to pinpoint when, why, and to what extent are fruit quality and marketability reduced. Sensor data on 47 commercial shipments are thereby translated into actionable metrics for supply chain stakeholders by mapping the variability using principal component analysis. We unveiled a large spread (between 3% and 60%) in the shipments for different metrics of quality and marketability. Half of the shipments currently lie outside the ideal trade-off range between maintaining quality, killing fruit fly larvae, and avoiding chilling injury. The digital twin technology opens the possibility to obtain the real-time coupling with sensor data to monitor food quality and marketability.

In the Philippines, the Zero Food Waste Act of 2022 has been proposed with the aim of implementing a system that promotes food waste reduction through redistribution, recycling, and valorization. One of the wastes produced from the coconut industry is the mature coconut water, as the primary focus is on the production of copra, coconut oil, and coconut milk. Further, mature coconut water has poor sensory properties (color/turbidity, aroma, and taste), leading to approximately 2.4 billion liters being discarded annually. One of the proposed solutions is to utilize the D-optimal mixture design, which enables the generation of the best combination of mature coconut water (83.5–91.3 g/100 g), calamansi (8.00–15.00 g/100 g), stevia (0.50–1.50 g/100 g), and turmeric powder (0.20 g). The 'desirability' function was employed to achieve multiresponse optimization, considering parameters such as pH < 4.5; sweetness, sourness, and overall acceptability all equivalent to 6 (like slightly). Significant (p < 0.05) responses indicated that the influence of the raw materials varied, ranging from linear to cubic prediction models, with R2 values ranging from 70.19 to 98.30%. The optimization results revealed that the model successfully predicted the properties of the optimal formulation composed of 90.08 g/100 g mature coconut water, 8.83 g/100 g calamansi, 0.90 g/100 g stevia, and 0.20 g/100 g turmeric powder. The results of this research may help industries valorize mature coconut water instead of discarding it as waste. The developed beverage may be further improved to increase its acceptability and generalizability by increasing the range of the values used and verify results through pilot-scale production.
