IDENTIFYING THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS THAT GENERATES BREAD AND BREAD PRODUCTS WASTE IN ROMANIAN SUPERMARKETS
Abstract
Bread products industry is one of the main branches of food industry. Taking into account the final products and their great diversity, they are divided from the scientific point of view in three categories such as: bread and bread products, pastry and specialty products (biscuits, donuts etc.), these constituting products categories that are consumed daily in quantities that depend on the consumption preferences of the population. In Romania, are consumed as a medium value 95 kg of bread per consumer per year, comparing to the European average of 60 kg of bread per consumer per year. Taking this fact into account, nowadays there are thrown away huge quantities of bread and bread products, so the humanitarian associations cannot face the redistribution of waste bread and the scientific associations are looking up for solutions to superior reevaluate the waste generated by the bread and bread products industry. In this context, the present study aims at identifying the main causes that generates the waste in bread and bread products industry, so to offer minimal solutions that should be able to fight against bread waste. The main causes that contribute to the bread waste could be: the working environment of employees, the employees, the equipment that are used, organization management, raw materials and auxiliaries, overproduction.
