Therefore, for fresh food e-commerce enterprises, market demand forecasting is particularly important. This paper takes the sales data of a fresh food e-commerce enterprise as the logistics demand, analyzes the influence of time and meteorological factors on the demand, extracts the characteristic factors with greater influence, and proposes a logistics demand forecast scheme of fresh food e-commerce based on the Bi-LSTM model. The scheme is compared with other schemes based on the BP neural network and LSTM neural network models. The experimental results show that the Bi-LSTM model has good prediction performance on the problem of logistics demand prediction. This facilitates further research on some supply chain issues, such as business decision-making, inventory control, and logistics capacity planning.展开更多

The results show that consumers' perception of platform reliability positively affects consumer spending, and loyalty negatively moderates the positive relationship between reliability and consumer spending, which indicates that with the increase of loyalty, the positive impact of reliability on consumer spending will decrease. Consumer perception of platform risk negatively affects consumer spending, but loyalty is not significant in moderating perceived risk and consumer spending.展开更多

Few food units in Portugal are adopting FCP, since these products are viewed as being more expensiveand are regarded as less natural and easily perishable.The present study aims to identify and analyze the level of awareness of food service operators in respect to FCP. Approximately 90% of food handlers referred the use of FCP at their workplace, pointing as the main advantages for using them the less time spent on preparation （58.6%）, the variety （55.9%） and the convenience （55.9%）. Reasons for not using them were doubtful origin （91.7%）, price （66.7%） and being a possible threat to their jobs （58.3%）. In spite of recognizing the advantages of using FCP, most of food handlers （77.2%） prefer traditional products. Traditional products were preferred by food handlers with lower educational level, working at schools and performing functions of kitchen helper. FCP were chosen by younger food handlers, with higher educational level. It seems necessary to promote a demystification of this category of products near food service managers and employees, explaining the best way and advantages of using FCP at institutional food services in terms of safety, cost and quality.展开更多

The research rationale arises out of a history of food safety scares and scandals in China, and a national government response to promote quality assurance and safety through labelling. The primary hypothesis was that an understanding of food safety systems and product labelling, and trust in supply chain integrity would be key determinants in consumer willingness to purchase and pay more for safety assured vegetables. Based on a questionnaire survey of consumers in Beijing, the analysis found that the major factors underlying the purchase decision of fresh vegetables were product freshness, convenience and competitive price rather than assured product labelling. The decisions whether to purchase assurance-labelled vegetables and WTP more for chemical residue-free product were analysed by binomial and ordinal multinomial logit modelling respectively. It revealed a WTP moreof between 20% and 40%. Monthly household income was a key determinant of both quality assured product and WTP, together with degree of concern over residues, trust in retailer and assurance labels and place of purchase. The results suggest much still remains to be done to build trust though rigorous monitoring and enforcement of food safety standards to improve supply chain integrity and consumer confidence.展开更多
Twenty two fresh water fish samples namely Puntius sarana （Shawrputi）, Cyprinus carpio （Karp）, Oreochromis niloticos （Telapia）, Channa punctatus （Taki）, Wallogonia attu （Boal）, Eutropiichthys vacha （Bacha）...Twenty two fresh water fish samples namely Puntius sarana （Shawrputi）, Cyprinus carpio （Karp）, Oreochromis niloticos （Telapia）, Channa punctatus （Taki）, Wallogonia attu （Boal）, Eutropiichthys vacha （Bacha）, Macrognathus aculiatus （Baim）, Ailia coila （Kajoli）, Mystus cavasisus（Gulsa）, Ompok pabda （Pabdha）, Corica soborna （Kachki）, Mystus vittatus （Tengra）, Glossogobius giuris （Baila）, Macrobrachium malcolmsli （Chingri）, Amblypharyngodon microlepis （Mola）, Anabas testudineus （Koi）, Macrognathus aculiatus （Baim）, Channa striatus （Shole）, Heteropnueste fossilis （Shing）, Puntius sophore （Small Puti） and Pseudambassis ranga （Telapia） were collected from two rivers and one cultured fish pond. The samples were extracted by QuEChERS method, cleaned up with conc. H2SO4 treatment and cleaned extracts were analyzed by GC-ECD. Small size cultured rui fish sample which did show detectable amount of DDT and its metabohtes was used for the recovery experiments. Percent recovery was found to be in the range of 70%-113%. Amount of total DDTs were found to be 54.34, 48.81, 62.09, 54.72,78.81, 60.07, 47.0, 42.7, 26.31, 10.36, 25.32, 12.96, 20.10, 12.78, 17.65, and 4.71, 8.58, 11.3 and 19.01 ng/g in gulsa, pabhda, baila, bacha, baim, small purl, tengra, chanda, kachki, boal, taki, chingri, mola, shole, shing, koi, swarpurl, karp and telapia fish samples, respectively. However, the residual amounts of DDTs in all the fish samples were below maximum residue limit （MRL of DDTs in fish 5.0 mg/kg） according to Codex Alimentarius Commission. The ratios of 4,4＇-DDT/DDTs were in the range of 0.03-0.44 which indicated that exposure to DDT is not due to recent use.展开更多
