Modern Approaches to Storage and Effective Processing of Agricultural Products for Obtaining High Quality Food Products

Abstract

Food independence is a strategic component of the country’s security, which is enshrined in a number of regulatory documents. Within the framework of the set goals, the priority tasks of group and individual product identification, including biological and geographical features; unification of evaluation criteria and objective principles for expanding their field; transformation of traditional technologies, have been updated.

It is predicted that the growth of production volumes and optimization of processes and consumption systems will be based on the application of a number of basic principles: “lifetime” formation of the composition and properties of raw materials; development of highly efficient production technologies and deep processing of agricultural products; implementation of algorithms for structuring logistics, storage, and processing/disposal of food and waste; and increasing the energy efficiency of production processes. At the same time, the strategic vectors of technology development are specialized and personalized nutrition, cross-border cooperation, food quality and safety, minimization of negative impacts on the environment, traceability of the food chain “from field to consumer,” etc. To achieve all this, wide introduction of modern (digital) technologies will be required, as well as the modernization of traditional practices and the creation of new methodological and process solutions.
