植物性食品的经济价值取决于其质量以及在整个生产链中如何保存，直到到达最终消费者手中。质量的概念是广泛的，包括几个方面，如外观，营养价值，存在的健康相关的化合物，安全和保障。另一方面，新鲜度与产品的“年龄”密切相关，虽然它是与质量相关的属性，但这两者是不同的概念，现在不再可能仅根据其新鲜度来评估产品质量。
The economic value of plant-derived food depends on its quality and how it is preserved over the whole production chain, until it reaches the final consumer. The concept of quality is wide and covers several aspects such as, external appearance, nutritional value, presence of health-related compounds, safety and security. On the other hand, freshness is strictly connected to the “age” of the product and though it is an attribute related to quality, these two are different concepts and nowadays it is no longer possible to evaluate produce quality only on the basis of its freshness.
