Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquatic products are favorable among consumers. However, large spoilage inevitably takes place during live transportation, storage and processing, which results in serious economic loss. This Special Issue encompasses the preservation techniques, transportation methods and establishment of a robust cold chain infrastructure. Researchers should explore advancements in refrigeration technology, packaging solutions and logistical strategies to mitigate spoilage, preserve freshness and extend shelf life. This Special Issue aims to delve into the challenges faced in different environments and regions, offering insights into best practices for industry stakeholders. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and uphold product nutrition, meeting consumer demand for high-quality aquatic products while adhering to stringent safety standards.
