Logistic Transport System for Nutritional Substances

摘要

Disclosed herein is a preservation system for storage and logistic transport of nutritional substances. The preservation system obtains information about the nutritional substance to be preserved, senses and measures the external environment to the preservation system, senses and measures the internal environment to the preservation system, senses and measures the state of the nutritional substance, and stores such information throughout the period of preservation. Using this accumulated information, the preservation system can measure, or estimate, changes in nutritional content (usually degradation) during the period of preservation. Additionally, the preservation system can use this information to dynamically modify the preservation system to minimize detrimental changes to the nutritional content of the nutritional substance, and in some cases actually improve the nutritional substance attributes.

主权项

1. A method of determining and communicating an evolution of a particular nutritional or organoleptic property of a nutritional substance comprising the steps of:
scanning a nutritional substance provided with a unique identifier at a first time to obtain a first scan-response related to a target attribute associated with a particular nutritional or organoleptic property; and analyzing the first scan-response and correlating it with a first value of the particular nutritional or organoleptic property and to the unique identifier; and scanning the nutritional substance at a subsequent time to obtain a subsequent scan-response related to the target attribute; and analyzing the subsequent scan-response and correlating it with a subsequent value of the particular nutritional or organoleptic property and to the unique identifier; and determining a change in the particular nutritional or organoleptic property between the first time and the subsequent time; and communicating information related to said change in the particular nutritional or organoleptic property referenced to the unique identifier.
