Enhancing grape traceability from grower to consumer through GS1 Standards: A case study of the Australian table grape industry

Abstract

The traceability of agricultural products, including grapes, is essential for ensuring food safety, quality control, and supply chain transparency. This article investigates the use of GS1 standards to enhance grape traceability from grower to consumer. Through a case study approach, we examine how Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs), Global Location Numbers (GLNs), and Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs) were integrated into grape production and distribution processes to harmonize domestic and export supply chains and prepare for global regulatory requirements.

Potenziare la tracciabilità dell’uva dal produttore al consumatore attraverso gli standard GS1

La tracciabilità dei prodotti agricoli, compresi gli acini d’uva, è essenziale per garantire la sicurezza alimentare, il controllo della qualità e la trasparenza della catena di approvvigionamento. Questo articolo indaga sull’implementazione degli standard GS1 per migliorare la tracciabilità dell’uva dal produttore al consumatore. Utilizzando un approccio basato su studi di caso, esaminiamo l’integrazione degli identificatori GS1, come i numeri globali di articolo commerciale (GTIN), i numeri globali di localizzazione (GLN) e i codici di contenitore di spedizione sequenziale (sscc), nei processi di produzione e distribuzione dell’uva. Gli standard GS1 sono stati integrati nei dati sui frutti e sulla catena di approvvigionamento per armonizzare le catene di approvvigionamento nazionali ed estere, e per preparare l’industria dell’uva da tavola alle future esigenze regolamentari globali sulla tracciabilità.

Application de l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie (ACV) à un domaine viticole

Since 1980, Château de l’Éclair has belonged to SICAREX Beaujolais and has been involved in experimentation for the Beaujolais vineyards. However, it is a commercial estate with profitability and quality constraints, which means that it has to meet the growing environmental expectations of consumers. Given the number of practices claimed to be environment-friendly, it is sometimes difficult to prioritize actions.

Impact assessment of the reverse osmosis technique in wine alcohol management

Wine authenticity and composition can be influenced by a range of membrane separation processes as reverse osmosis. In the context of climate change, the natural trend is to obtain wines with higher alcoholic concentration when classical winemaking methods are employed, and this may induce alteration of typicity of wines by masking the olfactory and taste properties. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of reverse osmosis techniques used for decrease of ethanol content on the stable isotopic ratios as markers for wine authenticity characteristics.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

High pressure homogenization of wine lees. A tool to streamline the management of wine ageing

Aging on lees (AOL) has been used for wine aging for a long time, thanks to its ability to modify wine composition, improving sensory characteristics and stability. However, the prolonged contact with fermentation lees may increase the risk of developing sensory defects, due to the growth of unwanted microorganisms. Furthermore, AOL requires a large amount of work to manage bâtonnage and for topping up the barrels, significantly increasing production costs.
