Resumo: Food waste occurs throughout the production chain. As it is considered a link between consumers and the food chain, supermarket retail has a relevant role and can contribute to reducing food waste. To prevent waste, it is necessary to investigate the cause, and measuring the volume can help to highlight this problem in the food chain. Fruits, legumes, and vegetables (FLV) are highly sensitive foods and travel a long truck to reach supermarkets and the consumer. This research characterized the FLV waste in three retail supermarkets, through the direct measurement of the products, in the period of two days in each of them. As a result, it was observed that fruits were the most discarded foods, followed by vegetables. Edible products had the highest amount of disposal, followed by partially edible and inedible products, and the waste was sent to landfill and composted.

Al ser considerado un eslabón entre los consumidores y la cadena alimentaria, la rede de supermercados tiene un papel relevante y puede contribuir a reducir el desperdicio de alimentos. Para evitar el desperdicio, es necesario investigar la causa, y medir el volumen puede ayudar a resaltar este problema en la cadena alimentaria. Las frutas y verduras (FLV) son alimentos altamente sensibles y viajan en camiones largos para llegar a los supermercados y al consumidor. Esta investigación caracterizó los residuos FLV en tres supermercados minoristas, a través de la medición directa de los productos, en el periodo de dos días en cada uno de ellos. Como resultado, se observó que las frutas fueron los alimentos más descartados, seguidos de las verduras. Los productos comestibles tuvieron la mayor cantidad de eliminación, seguidos de los productos parcialmente comestibles y no comestibles, y los residuos se enviaron a vertedero y se compostaron.O desperdício de alimentos ocorre em toda a cadeia de produção. Por ser considerado um elo entre os consumidores e a cadeia de alimentos, o varejo supermercadista possui um papel relevante e pode contribuir para a redução do descarte de alimentos. Para a prevenção do desperdício é necessário investigar a causa, e a mensuração do volume pode contribuir para evidenciar esse problema na cadeia de alimentos. As frutas, legumes e verduras (FLV), são alimentos altamente sensíveis, e percorrem um longo caminhão até a chegada aos supermercados e casa do consumidor. Esta pesquisa caracterizou o desperdício de FLV em três supermercados varejistas, por meio da mensuração direta dos produtos, no período de dois dias em cada um deles. Como resultado observou-se que as frutas foram os alimentos mais descartados, seguidos pelos legumes e verduras. Os produtos comestíveis apresentaram maior quantidade de descarte, seguidos pelos parcialmente comestíveis e não comestíveis, e os resíduos foram direcionados para aterro sanitário e compostagem.Universidade Estadual Paulista2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPaper peer-reviewedapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/article/view/157Electronic Journal Digital Skills for Family Farming; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): Electronic Journal Digital Skills for Family Farming; 109-144Revista Electrónica Competencias Digitales para Agricultura Familiar; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2022): Revista Electrónica Competencias Digitales para Agricultura Familiar; 109-144Revista Eletrônica Competências Digitais para Agricultura Familiar; v. 8 n. 2 (2022): Revista Competências Digitais para Agricultura Familiar; 109-1442448-0452reponame:Revista Eletrônica Competências Digitais para Agricultura Familiarinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengporspahttps://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/article/view/157/378https://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/article/view/157/379https://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/article/view/157/380https://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/article/view/157/381http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDomingos, StellaLopes Francelino Gonçalves Dias, Sylmara2023-03-23T14:06:51Zoai:codaf.tupa.unesp.br:8082:article/157Revistahttp://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodafPUBhttp://owl.tupa.unesp.br/recodaf/index.php/recodaf/oai||fernando@rodrigues.pro.br2448-04522448-0452opendoar:2023-03-23T14:06:51Revista Eletrônica Competências Digitais para Agricultura Familiar - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
