    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: Described herein are packaging (e.g., containers) and methods for storing perishable items. The containers can include a plurality of openings that cause a reduction in the in-package relative humidity. The perishable items can be coated with a protective coating to prevent moisture loss from produce during storage. The perishable items can be coated prior to storage in the packaging or after being placed in the packaging. The container and coatings therefore allow the perishable items to be stored at lower relative humidity (e.g., lower than industry standards for shipment and storage, or lower than about 90% relative humidity), which can help delay the growth of biotic stressors such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and/or pests.
