Quality assurance is pivotal in ensuring the safe, nutritious, and fresh delivery of fruits and vegetables to consumers worldwide. The distribution of these perishable goods involves various stages from farm to fork, and maintaining quality throughout this process is essential for meeting consumer expectations, ensuring food safety, and supporting a sustainable food supply chain.

Global factors such as more significant international trade, changing consumer demand, increased public regulation, and severe food safety incidents have significantly increased concerns about a wide range of food quality features. As a result of these changes, there has been an increase in the number of food quality standards, and quality assurance methods have arisen to cope with quality and safety.
