Abstract: Presented are compositions that can be used as protective coatings for agricultural (e.g., food) substrates. The compositions can comprise a compound of Formula I: and an additive, wherein the variables m, n, q, r, Ra, Rb, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13 are defined herein. The protective coatings formed from the compositions can be used to prevent food spoilage due to, for instance, moisture loss, oxidation, or infection by a foreign pathogen.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides for determining infection in food items using image data of the food items under ultra-violet (UV) light. A method includes performing object detection on the image data to identify a bounding box around each of the food items in the image data, determining, for each food item, an infection presence metric by applying a model to the bounding box, the model being trained using image training data of other food items under UV light, the image training data being annotated based on previous identifications of a first portion of the other food items having infection features and a second portion having healthy quality features, and determining, based on a determination that the infection presence metric for each of the food items indicates presence of an infection, an infection coverage metric for the food item.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of preparing cutin-derived monomers, oligomers, or combinations thereof from cutin-containing plant matter. The methods can include heating the cutin-derived plant matter in a solvent at elevated temperature and pressure. In some preferred embodiments, the methods can be carried out without the use of additional acidic or basic species.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining quality levels for food items using image data, such as time lapse RGB, hyperspectral, thermal, and/or multispectral images. The method can include receiving, from imaging devices, image data of food items, performing object detection on the image data to identify a bounding box around each food item, and identifying a quality level of each food item by applying trained models to the bounding boxes. The models were trained using image training data of other food items that was annotated based on previous identifications of a first portion of the other food items as having poor quality features and a second portion as having good quality features. The other food items and the food items are a same type. The method also includes determining, for each food item, a quality level score based on the identified quality level of the food item.

Abstract: Presented are compositions that can be used as antimicrobial coatings or protective coatings for agricultural (e.g., food) products. The compositions can comprise one or more saturated glycerides selected from monoglycerides and diglycerides; one or more surfactants; and one or more food-safe antimicrobials. The antimicrobial coatings or protective coatings can be used to prevent or delay food spoilage due to, for instance, infection by a foreign pathogen, moisture loss, or oxidation.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can non-destructively determine current produce quality. An evaluation system can, at a first time, receive image data of produce and identify a type of the produce using machine learning techniques. The produce can be sent to an end-consumer retail environment. A quality assessment system can, at a second time, receive, from a user device in the retail environment, a request for a current quality of a particular produce that includes scanned data of that produce. The quality assessment system can identify that produce, retrieve, from a data store, machine learning trained models for identifying quality features of that produce, determine, based on applying the models to the scanned data, a current quality of that produce, and transmit, to the user device, the current quality. The produce's price can also be dynamically adjusted based on the current quality of that produce.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to plant extract compositions and methods to isolate cutin-derived monomers, oligomers, and mixtures thereof for application in agricultural coating formulations, and in particular, to methods of preparing plant extract compositions that include functionalized and non-functionalized fatty acids and fatty esters (as well as their oligomers and mixtures thereof), which are substantially free from accompanying plant-derived compounds (e.g., proteins, polysaccharides, phenols, lignans, aromatic acids, terpenoids, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, alcohols, alkanes, and aldehydes) and can be used in agricultural coating formulations.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and at least one processor to acquire a hyperspectral image of a food object by an imaging device, the hyperspectral image of the food object comprising a three-dimensional set of images of the food object, each image in the set of images representing the food object in a wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum, normalize the hyperspectral image of the food object, select a region of interest in the hyperspectral image, the region of interest comprising a subset of at least one image in the set of images, extract spectral features from the region of interest in the hyperspectral image, and compare the spectral features from the region of interest with a plurality of images in a training set to determine particular characteristics of the food object and determine that the hyperspectral image indicates a foreign object.
