hello everyone Welcome to our Channel my
name is Kia and my name is Joshua we
embark on a journey into the World Of
Products exploring the fascinating
distinction between perishable and
durable goods whether we realize it or
not our daily lives are shaped by the
choices we make when it comes to the
items we buy and use in this
presentation we'll dive into the crucial
differences between two primary
categories of products perishable and
durable from the freshness of our
groceries to the longivity of our
appliances each category plays a
distinct role in our consumption habits
and has far-reaching implications for
the environment our wallets and even our
daily convenience so buckle up as we
explore the dynamic interplay between
products that have a limited shelf life
and those designed to stand the test of
time let's unravel the Mysteries Behind
These essential components of our
consumer landscape and gain insights
that may influence the way we make
choices in our everyday lives without
further Ado let's delve into the world
of perishable and durable products
perishable product perishable products
are Goods that have a limited shelf life
and can deteriorate or spoil relatively
quickly if not stored or handled
properly these items are typically food
but they can also include items like
flowers or certain medications
perishable products require careful
storage transportation and handling to
prevent them from becoming unsafe to
consume or use common examples of
perishable products include fruits
vegetables dairy products and fresh meat
reason why perishable products perish
quickly perishable products perish
quickly due to a combination of factors
primarily related to biological chemical
and environmental
processes here are some reasons why
perishable products deteriorate
rapidly biological
processes perishable products are often
alive or contain living organisms such
as fruits vegetables and fresh meats
biological processes including
respiration and enzymatic activity
continue even after harvesting or
Slaughter microbial
growth bacteria yeasts and mold molds
can thrive on perishable products
causing them to
spoil as these microorganisms reproduce
and metabolize they produce enzymes and
waste products that degrade the
product's quality and
safety moisture content perishable
products often have high moisture
content which creates an ideal
environment for microbial growth and
enzymatic
reactions excess moisture can cause mold
and bacteria to proliferate accelerating
spoilage
temperature inadequate storage
temperatures can accelerate the
deterioration of perishable
products Refrigeration or freezing is
essential to slow down the growth of
microorganisms and enzymes
packaging inappropriate or damaged
packaging can fail to protect perishable
products from external contaminants
moisture and temperature fluctuations
all of which can contribute to Rapid
spoilage and last time
the longer perishable products are
stored the more they are exposed to the
factors mentioned above freshness
decreases over time making products more
susceptible to spoilage durable product
durable crops typically refer to plants
or agricultural products that exhibit
resilience longevity and resistance to
various environmental stresses diseases
pests and adverse conditions these crops
can endure and maintain their yield or
qu quality over an extended period
contributing to stable agricultural
production characteristics that define
durable crops include first resilience
they possess the ability to withstand
fluctuations in climate including
extreme temperatures droughts or
excessive
rainfall second disease resistance they
are less susceptible to common diseases
or have inherent mechanisms to resist
infections third pest resistance they
exhibit resistance to pests reducing the
need for excessive pesticide
use fourth adaptability these crops can
adapt to diverse soil types fertility
levels and other environmental
conditions five longevity of yield they
maintain consistent yields over multiple
growing Seasons or under varying
conditions there are several fruits and
vegetables known for their durability
and longer shelf life compared to others
here are a few apples they can last for
several weeks when stored properly in a
cool dry Place certain varieties like
Granny Smith tend to have a longer shelf
life oranges oranges can last for a few
weeks when stored at room temperature
they do well in the refrigerator
too carrots kept in a cool moist
environment carrots can stay fresh for
several weeks storing them in the fridge
in a plastic bag with air holes helps
retain moisture
potatoes when stored in a cool dark and
dry Place potatoes can last for several
weeks to a few months keep them away
from onions to prevent both from
spoiling faster durable crops offer
several advantages that contribute to
sustainable agriculture and food
Security One resilience to environmental
stress two reduced dependency on
chemical inputs three enhanced
productivity four improved food food
security five sustainable agriculture
six longer shelf life and Storage by
harnessing the advantages of durable
crops farmers and agricultural experts
can develop more resilient and
sustainable agricultural systems
ensuring a more reliable food supply for
communities while minimizing negative
impacts on the
environment
