New technology of portioned vegetable frozen products of the \"Ready to cook\" type as part of the strategy of waste-free management of agricultural products

Description

a new technology of portioned vegetable frozen products of the \"Ready to cook\" type as part of the strategy of waste-free management of agricultural products

Sector

A1.1Growing of non-perennial crops

Needs/ Problem statement

Vegetable growers develop and implement new technologies for machine harvesting and processing (to increase productivity). At the same time, the automation of these processes causes an increase in the amount of waste and contributes to increasing the loss of full-fledged parts of these vegetables. The amount of waste generated as a result of pre-treatment of vegetables reaches up to 10-45% of the weight of the processed raw material – e.g. cauliflower, broccoli. The need is to reduce the loss of post-assortment vegetables (m.in. undersized, too large, with a bad shape) and to reduce the formation of organic waste from vegetables at the processing stage, by including the fractions removed from vegetables into the stream of products processed for consumption purposes

Objective

The (1) aim is to develop a new model of farmer\'s work organization using a digital solution: cultivation of vegetables of a given species in accordance with the indicated varieties, in such a way as to program a common harvest date, which will improve the production efficiency of a farm. (2) Development of new products composed into the form of puree in red, green or white derived from vegetables of appropriate colors (vegetable puree will be formed into balls / briquettes and in this form will be stored). The aim is to develop a composition with balanced nutritional value, attractive sensory properties, colour and consistency.
