预计未来全球农产品出口将增加。海运方便了大量货物的运输，而成本比空运低得多。然而，海运需要更长的时间，产品质量不如空运。因此，有必要开发技术，为海上运输创造更合适的环境。为此，设计了一种方法，在该方法中，所有用于国内销售的包装水果和蔬菜都从包装外部用更通用的薄膜包裹作为附加包装，并且在本研究中使用该方法进行了实际出口演示。也就是说，准备了两组28种不同种类的水果和蔬菜，一组用附加包装包裹，另一组用普通包装包裹。这些设备随后作为混合货物从日本清水港出口到新加坡。运输后，进行仪器分析和感官评价，以比较额外包装的产品与普通包装的产品的质量。这种附加包装大大减少了大白菜、生菜、圆白菜和日本白色萝卜的鲜重损失。此外，额外的包装减少了干燥的'闪耀麝香'葡萄茎。然而，一些农产品，如桃子，由于气体浓度的轻微变化而质量恶化。对于许多商品来说，在出口包装用于常规国内分销的水果和蔬菜时，额外的包装可以是保持质量的低成本选择。
Global agricultural exports are expected to increase in the future. Sea transportation facilitates the carrying of an incomparably large amount of cargo for a much lower cost than by air freight. However, sea transportation takes much longer and the produce quality is inferior to that transported by air. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop technologies to create a more suitable environment for sea transportation. For this reason, a method was devised in which all fruit and vegetables packaged for domestic distribution are wrapped from the outside of the package as additional packaging with a more versatile film, and an actual export demonstration using this method was conducted in this study. Namely, two sets of 28 different kinds of fruits and vegetables were prepared, one that was wrapped in additional packaging and the other with ordinary packaging. These sets were then exported from Japan's Shimizu Port to Singapore as mixed cargo. Following transportation, instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation were performed to compare the quality of the additionally packaged produce with that of the ordinarily packaged produce. This additional packaging greatly reduced the loss of fresh weight of Chinese cabbage, lettuce, cabbage and Japanese white radish. Moreover, the additional packaging reduced the drying of ‘Shine Muscat’ grape stems. However, some produce such as peaches deteriorated in quality due to slight changes in gas concentration. For many items, additional packaging can be a low‐cost option for maintaining quality when exporting fruits and vegetables packaged for routine domestic distribution.
