The EUFRUIT Knowledge Platform is part of a European thematic network of 21 partners including research institutes, universities and industrial partners who represent keyparts of the fruit supply chain from 12 countries.

The European Fruit Network (EUFRUIT) - Knowledge Platform

EUFRUIT Knowledge Platform is an international open access database of electronic documents related to productivity, sustainability and quality of fruit in the European fruit sector. New knowledge on fruit research and best practice approaches at a European level are available in the database. It is possible to search for information in a specific language.

Focuses are on four thematic areas of critical importance to competitiveness and innovation potential of the European fruit sector:

AU-WP4-A6 Fighting storage rots in apples Publication in other stakeholder journal/magazine - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage The technology for hot water treatment was developed many years ago but it was not used widely due to availability of fungicides. In organic production, however, fungicides are abandoned and alternative methods are needed. Short-term hot water treatment of apple fruits has shown to postpone the development of storage rots if used correctly. Incorrect use results in skin browning…

AU-WP4-A4 Better utilization of pome fruit production and less food waste Participation in scientific conference - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Losses and waste in apple production occur during harvest, storage and after shelf life. Sorted out fruits can be used for juicing, drying, puree, or as parts of sweets depending on the quality of the rejected fruits. It is, however, important to use the rejected fruits timely in food production to prevent growth of Penicillium expansum, which is a secondary fungus that produces a…
