Abstract

The food waste and losses (FW) became one of the most impacting aspects in modern society. This review article presents an overview of various aspects linked to the phenomenon of food losses in primary cereal production and its consequences. From the analysis of reviewed specific literature, it resulted that the losses are found both in the harvesting process and in the post-harvest processes (conditioning, separation, sorting, chemical treatment, transport etc.) these representing the primary processing of agricultural products, especially seeds. The review focuses on the new technologies’ influence in reducing FW in harvesting and post-harvesting process, highlighting the contribution of agricultural engineering studies on this specific topic.

Deșeurile și pierderile alimentare (PA) au devenit una dintre problemele de mare impact din societatea modernă. Acest articol de revizuire prezintă o imagine de ansamblu a diferitelor aspecte legate de fenomenul pierderilor de alimente ȋn producṭia primară de cereale și consecinṭele acestuia. Din analiza literaturii specifice revizuite a rezultat că pierderile se găsesc atȃt ȋn procesul de recoltare, cȃt și ȋn procesele post-recoltare (condiṭionare, separare, sortare, tartare chimică, transport etc.) acestea reprezentȃnd prelucrarea primară a produselor agricole, ȋn special seminṭe. Revizuirea se concentrează asupra influenṭei noilor tehnologii ȋn reducerea pierderilor alimentare ȋn procesul de recoltare și post-recoltare, subliniind contribuṭia studiilor de inginerie agricolă pe acest subiect specific.
