Therefore, identifying damage and proposing control measures are necessary to extend shelf life and reduce financial losses. This paper reviews the quality problems of macadamia nuts during primary processing such as harvesting, dehusking, drying, cracking, roasting, packaging, and storage, which can be categorized as physical damage, altered chemical composition, and microbial infection.

Based on an extensive analysis of existing research results, we summarize the beneficial measures that can be taken in the key primary processing stages of macadamia nuts and the application of real-time quality monitoring technologies.

Analysis of textural properties showed that steaming, boiling, and roasting led to a moderate reduction in hardness and springiness compared to raw samples (all <i>p</i> < 0.05), which are favorable for jackfruit seeds because it resulted in a tender texture with a subtle bounce when bitten. Roasting also yielded partially gelatinized seeds (lower gelatinization compared to boiling and steaming, <i>p</i> < 0.05) that maintained a balance between firmness and tenderness and presented with a pleasant bite with a slight crunch. In addition, roasted jackfruit seeds demonstrated the greatest capacity to inhibit lipase activity (all <i>p</i> < 0.05), an enzyme essential for fat digestion and absorption, highlighting their significant potential for use as a weight loss supplement. Principal component analysis of 22 different factors ranked the overall quality of processed jackfruit seeds in the following order: roasting > steaming > boiling.

Coffee, a cash crop and primary source of income for many developing countries, is facing considerable postharvest losses due to quality degradation from traditional drying methods. This review article identifies efficient and practical solar coffee dryers suitable for large-scale producers in rural areas. It also examines the parameters for evaluating the performance of coffee drying systems. The review also highlighted the postharvest coffee processing techniques and drying kinetics. Based on the systematic selection method among the studies collected from three databases, 36 existing papers are included for comprehensive review. All the reviewed papers reported that solar-based coffee dryers are promising alternative systems for coffee drying. The type of dryer, their configurations, air temperature, humidity, and airflow rate are the key factors that influence the coffee drying rate and the dryer’s overall performance. Among the classifications identified, direct-type greenhouse solar dryers are found to be scalable and cost-effective to use in developing countries.

Although numerous international and national organizations have identified horse gram as a potential food source for the future, their commercial potential remains underutilized due to longer cooking times and the presence of antinutritional factors. Milling (seed coat removal) is considered a promising method to overcome such problems associated with whole pulses. The present investigation was thus aimed at increasing commercial viability of horse gram by optimizing premilling treatments to improve milling efficiency, nutritional quality, and cooking properties. Grains were subjected to different levels of wet milling (soaking 7–11 h and tempering 10–14 h), dry milling (mixing with oils and tempering 14–26 h), and enzymatic milling (pectinase, cellulase, xylanase, and their mixture in ratio 1:1:1 at 40–100 mg/100 g dry weight of horse gram).
