Fruit Industry

As apples and other fruit ripen, they emit carbon dioxide. In storage, the carbon dioxide lowers the level of oxygen in the atmosphere and accelerates the rate of deterioration of the fruit. By circulating air around the fruit and over hydrated lime, the level of carbon dioxide is reduced and the fruit remains marketable for longer [30.1]. 

Residues from processing citrus fruits are mixed with lime, dried, and sold as cattle feed. Lime is also used to neutralise waste citric acid and to raise the pH of fruit juices to stabilise the flavour and colour [30.1].

Many fmits are now being processed in large amounts at centralized facilities. This means that larger quantities of waste products are available at one center and can be more easily treated to recover oil and other valuable byproducts. This is particularly relevant in the fruit industry where pips, stones, and kernels are available in large supply.

Fruit Industry Supply Chains (FISC) are interconnected networks conformed by production nodes (farms), processing plants (fruit packaging and concentrated juice plants), and storage facilities, along with clients and third party raw material and services suppliers. Although Supply Chain optimization is a mature field, very few contributions on FISC modeling with management purposes have appeared so far in the open literature.

Complete combustion of sulfur in sulfur furnaces used in the sugar industry or in the sulfur houses used in the dried fruit industry which would theoretically produce gas with 21 volume per cent of SO2 is not obtained. According to Marches (1953) the gas produced in the sulfur furnaces used in Java contains 6-14 volume per cent of SO2 and small amounts of SOs.

The yellow and purple forms of the edible fruited species of passion fruit Passiftora edulis) originated in South America. The yellow Wited form is adapted to lowland tropical conditions and the purple fruited form is more accustomed to subtropical conditions or to higher altitudes in the tropics. There are over 400 known species of Passiftora but approximately 50 or 60 bear edible fruits. In Hawaii and Fiji, the yellow passion is the basis of the entire passion fruit industry. In Australia, Ceylon, Africa and India, the purple passion fruit is of greater importance (Chan, 1980). 

The problems of the dairy and citrus fruit industries are typical of those encountered with products produced in different areas of the country or at different times of the year. 

Other uses for hexamine are in pharmaceuticals, as an inhibitor of corrosion caused by strong mineral acids, for shrink-proofing agents in the textile industry, and as an agent to enhance color fastness and elasticity to cellulose fibers. It also has potential for end use as a fungicide in the citrus fruit industry. Hexamine produces methylene groups without forming water, as in the case with paraformaldehyde.
