Abstract

This investigation aimed to undertake an effective waste management strategy by valorizing the functional potential of thermally processed tomato processed waste fragments collected from three different zones of different states of India viz. Shillong (Sample A, Meghalaya), Falakata (Sample B, West Bengal), and Jalpaiguri (Sample C, West Bengal). Thermal processing of fragmented waste samples prior to the extraction process was carried out with three different drying techniques viz. solar drying, hot air oven drying, and combined drying. The experimental investigation with a comparative design revealed that the total phenolic content (TPC), lycopene content, and β-carotene content of solar dried waste fragments derived from samples A & B are significantly higher than those in sample C. Moreover, the sun-dried  pomace fraction of tomato waste contains the maximum amount of bioactive components viz. lycopene (303.452mg/kg in sample A, 297.96 mg/kg in sample B, and 203.583 mg/kg in sample C),  β-carotene content (299.6mg/kg in sample B, 299.1mg/kg in sample A, and 223.004 mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolic content (6.8698mg/kg in sample B, 5.9541mg/kg in sample A, and 5.7915mg/kg in sample C) followed by skin lycopene (282.297mg/kg in sample A, 276.8 mg/kg in sample B, and 182.603 mg/kg in sample C); β-carotene (280.41mg/kg in sample A, 278.002mg/kg in sample B, and 188.258 mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolics (6.4413mg/kg in sample B, 5.2633mg/kg in sample A, and 5.0223mg/kg in sample C) and seed lycopene (276.8mg/kg in sample B, 86.746 mg/kg in sample A, and 62.163mg/kg in sample C); β- carotene (85.23mg/kg in sample B, 84.01mg/kg in sample A, and 66.23mg/kg in sample C) and total phenolics (5.9228mg/kg in sample B followed by 4.6602mg/kg in sample A and 4.641mg/kg) respectively. The solar drying technique is considered to be a novel pretreatment process compared to other treatments e.g., oven drying, and combined drying, in the efficacy of extraction of bioactive components from tomato processed waste fractions due to its lower impact on heat-sensitive biomaterials.

Abstract

Tomato is one of the most important fruit vegetable crops in Ethiopia supporting the livelihood and improving the economic life of many farmers. However, the productivity of the crop is low due to poor production management practices, limitations in the availability of pesticides and fungicides, limitations to access information, market fluctuation, and shelf life of the crop. The study was undertaken in western Oromia to understand major factors affecting the tomato productivity of smallholder farmers. It was based on the cross-sectional data collected from 135 randomly selected farmers during the 2019/20 cropping season. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an econometric model. The result depicted that the productivity of tomatoes was significantly affected by inputs like labor, oxen power, fertilizer, and pesticides. From the OLS result, gender, education, family size, off/non-farm activities, farm experience, livestock holding, extension access, credit access, and market/traders information positively affected tomato productivity, while age and field distance was affected negatively. The variety and biotic factors affected the tomato productivity of smallholder farmers positively and negatively, respectively. The findings will be helpful for tomato producers, private companies, and other sectors that participated in crop production by solving the above important variables.

Abstract

The rapid competition between business and sustainability policy has encouraged the coffee industry in Indonesia to make their business more environmentally friendly. However, this initiative has yet to be fully underway. Several inefficiencies still prevail in Arabica coffee production sites, such as product defects in inventory, the inefficiency of production machine performance, and dependence on manpower that can increase the production and inventory costs. Therefore, the Arabica coffee agroindustry needs to improve its performance by addressing these issues in production activity using the lean manufacturing approach. Several tools proven influential to reduce waste in the agroindustry are Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and VALSAT. VSM could document the entire mapping of material and information management, but cannot classify the time required to complete the whole process. VALSAT has several derivative tools, but polyacrylamide (PAM) and Supply Chain Response Matrix (SCRM) are mostly used in agroindustry to classify value-added time of processes and illustrate the supply chain cumulative inventory of a company. The result of this study shows that the Indonesian Arabica coffee industry could reduce its cycle time by 57%, lead time by 63%, and changeover time by 50%. In addition, the recommendations result in the involvement of only 2 people during the drying process and eliminate the non-value-added time, while improving the overall production efficiency and capacity.

Abstract

Pollinators are a crucial part of our ecosystem which aids the life of almost all living organisms present in this universe, and their contributions are justifiable according to Paretian efficient conditions. Though the services are an inseparable part of our life, property rights issues have made it difficult to evaluate the real worth of their services by Coase guidelines, the possible externalities they put to this universe, and the actual impact that free raiders have caused. This paper is based on techniques to incorporate those hidden services in economic assessment and policy formulation. For the economic evaluation of their services, we can quantify their values based on people's willingness to pay for the service, which aids in estimating the market value of producer and consumer's surplus, and the cost of the alternate means to achieve the same services, through production factor method, etc. To identify the sustainability of these ecosystem services, the regulation of pesticide use has to be integrated with these services. Farmers should focus not only on monoculture, but also on intensive farming, chemicals, making the least use of GMOs, and following Permaculture techniques in living and cultivation.

Abstract

About 70% of the rice consumed in Ghana is imported. The state of self-insufficiency in rice production can be attributed to the lack of adequate or continuous water supply. Rice, being an aquatic plant, is not tolerant to drought, which is known as the most threatening abiotic factor causing as much as 64% yield reduction. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify drought-tolerance genotypes among 24 rice collections and to estimate their heritability. A total of 24 traits were assessed in this study, and three treatments were applied, including stress free, mild stress, and severe stress, each of which involved three replications. The results showed that most of the parameters under investigation, including panicle length, fertile panicle rate, shoot, and root dry weight, and maximum root depth, decreased considerably as the level of drought stress increased. In addition, five of the accessions showed considerable tolerance to drought, eight accessions were high yielding, and eight accessions combined high yields and drought tolerance. The study concluded that 80% of the rice accessions offer promising lines to be used as parents in the development of drought-tolerant varieties and in genetic improvement programs aimed at such a purpose. The study recommended that molecular studies and morphological characterization should be done on the collections to understand their genetic makeup, similarities, and differences.

Abstract

‘Lakatan’ banana is amongst the most important banana varieties in the Philippines. This variety of bananas is widely known and cultivated due to its good sensory qualities and potential for the export market. Locally, ‘Lakatan’ banana is ripened by retailers through the use of calcium carbide and/or ethephon. However, these ethylene-producing chemicals were reported to cause poisoning and alter the fruit's taste. This study is designed to investigate the effects of natural ripening agents such as plant leaves on the ripening qualities and sensory attributes of ‘Lakatan’ banana under room conditions. The result results revealed that C. muconoides and F. septica significantly induced faster ripening of banana as compared to other treatments. Additionally, the disease severity of ‘Lakatan’ banana was lower in both leaves as compared to other treatments. On the other hand, bananas treated with C. muconoides, F. septica, and A. carambola leaves were found to have a longer marketable days. In terms of sensory quality, fruits treated with C. mucunoides, G. sepium, and A. carambola leaves were found to have high sensory acceptability. The results have concluded that leaves of C. muconoides, F. septica, G. sepium and A. carambola have great potential in ripening climacteric fruits like bananas, and these leaves are good substitutes for chemical ripening agents. The research highlights the need for further studies on the biological sources of ethylene to understand its advantages, including its limitations.

Abstract

Soil is considered to be one of the most complex natural systems on the planet, a key component of the geographical environment, and a biological complex that is constantly changing. Also, the soil is a multifunctional system on which the essential functions of life on Earth are based. As such, soil protection must be a primary concern for the community, as the conservation of soil resources itself requires more than transposition in legislative terms. Thus, on the protection of soils from the point of view of the legislation of the EU and Romania, we set out to make an analysis noting in this paper the main provisions of the acquis communautaire (directives, strategies, decisions, etc.), which come to ensure an interface between the use of soils and their protection for future generations. As a result of the research undertaken we can conclude that both EU and Romanian legislation are still deficient in soil protection, it is not as protected as the other elements of the environment, water, air, and/or biodiversity.
