Abstract

Postharvest losses of red chilli peppers remain a significant challenge in tropical regions, particularly under ambient storage conditions where access to refrigeration is limited. This study evaluates the effectiveness of simple ozonation at different exposure durations in maintaining the quality of red chilli peppers and identifies the optimal treatment duration based on quality preservation performance. A controlled experimental design with four treatments, consisting of no ozone exposure and ozonation for 5, 10, and 15 min, was applied. Quality parameters included weight retention, firmness, vitamin C content, water content, and microbial load were observed during ten days of storage. The results showed that ozonation significantly affected all measured parameters, with longer exposure durations generally improving quality retention and reducing microbial growth. However, the 10-min treatment demonstrated comparable performance to that of 15-min treatment across most variables, indicating that an optimal exposure duration had been reached. These findings suggest that simple ozonation can serve as a practical and effective postharvest approach for maintaining red chilli quality under tropical ambient conditions, particularly for small-scale applications.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial competency on business success, examining the roles of business innovation, managerial ability, and entrepreneurial orientation as intermediary variables. The background of this study departs from findings indicating that entrepreneurial competency does not always have a direct impact on business performance, and that a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms mediating these two variables is needed. This study examines scientific articles published between 2014-2024 that address the themes of competency, innovation, management, entrepreneurial orientation, and business performance. The methods used include identification, selection, and critical analysis of articles using the PRISMA protocol, with data analysis conducted thematically to identify patterns of relationships between variables. The main findings indicate that entrepreneurial competency positively affects business success when mediated by innovation, managerial ability, and entrepreneurial orientation. Innovation creates added value, managerial ability improves operational effectiveness, and entrepreneurial orientation directs competency toward proactive, innovative strategic actions. This study provides theoretical contributions by mapping a more complete structure of the relationship between competency and business performance, as well as practical contributions for business actors, educational institutions, and policymakers in designing entrepreneurial capacity-building programs.
