Summary

New products arrive on the market with the aim of meeting implicit consumer demand. Different preparation and display techniques are being developed, as a result of the desire or obligation to inform buyers. Such information must be based on objective arguments and references concerning the evolution of vegetable quality, and must also comply with the regulatory framework. Ctifl has undertaken a number of experiments and long-term studies to arrive at a better description of the way produce evolves in its commercial setting and thus give the industry data that will help determine the most appropriate "best-before" date.
