The term food system is used frequently in discussions about nutrition, food, health, community economic development and agriculture. A food system includes all processes and infrastructure involved in feeding a population: growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption, and disposal of food and food-related items. It also includes the inputs needed and outputs generated at each of these steps. A food system operates within and is influenced by social, political, economic and environmental contexts. It also requires human resources that provide labor, research and education. Food systems are either conventional or alternative according to their model of food lifespan from origin to plate.

Method and system for traceability, quality assessment and end of life recommendations of food item

PendingUS20260212329A1UpcyclingFood Preservation Technology
Global food systems face a paradox: rising demand and widespread hunger coexist with massive food waste, especially fresh produce. Short shelf life, poor forecasting, and lack of transparency lead to unnecessary disposal, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability challenges. Consumers also lack reliable information on freshness and nutritional value, further worsening waste. Hence, embodiments of present disclosure provide a method and system for traceability, quality assessment and end of life recommendations of a food item. Initially an image of the food item is captured and a machine-readable tag on the food item is scanned to retrieve traceability data. Then, using trained Visual Language and physics-based models, visual and biochemical features are analyzed to compute ripeness, shelf life, and freshness scores. Further, usage recommendations and end-of-life options are recommended, including recycling guidance for packaging and upcycling opportunities for leftovers. This integrated approach ensures transparency, optimizes consumption, and supports sustainability.

Instant anchote product and a process for its manufacture

The present invention relates to Instant Anchote product and its method of manufacture, developed to modernize the preparation and consumption of Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica) while preserving its nutritional value, sensory qualities, and cultural significance. Traditionally, Anchote tubers require more than six hours of cooking before consumption, resulting in ከ[9ከ fuel use, labour-intensive preparation, and limited utilization despite their recognized nutritional benefits. The invention provides 8 shelfstable, ready-to-hydrate (RtH) instant Anchote product that significantly reduces preparation time while maintaining the authentic taste and texture of traditionally prepared Anchote. The manufacturing process comprises cleaning, sorting, trimming, washing, pressure cooking, cooling, peeling, coarse shredding, controlled low-temperature dehydration, and packaging. Pressure cooking pre- gelatinizes the starch and softens the tuber tissue, while vacuum oven (low-temperature) drying preserves structural integrity and heat-sensitive nutrients. The dried product can be rapidly rehydrated in hot or cold water within less than 15 minutes, eliminating the need for prolonged cooking and substantially reducing energy consumption. After rehydration, it is incorporated into traditional sauce (kulet) prepared from onions, garlic, tomato, spices, kochikocha paste, salt, and other seasonings, with heated refined butter (nitir kibe) added before serving. The resulting dish retains the characteristic texture, flavour, nutritional quality, and cultural authenticity of conventional Anchote preparations. The invention addresses challenges related to long cooking times, postharvest losses, and limited market accessibility, while promoting value addition, sustainable agro-processing, and wider utilization of Anchote [በ modern food systems.
