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:

EUFRUIT WP4 Scanning report Y2 "WP4 Fruit quality, improvement of fruit handling/ storage"Publication of EIP-AGRI practitioner abstract - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Microbial post-harvest diseases can be controlled using existing methods (synthetic fungicides, CA- Storage, 1-MCP). With the pressure of reducing synthetic fungicides (Swiss action plan in plant protection, EU- regulation), an increase of microbial post- harvest disease and thus an increase in food loss is to be expected. Using state of the art molecular methods (spore sampling,… |

Better utilization of pome fruit production and less food wasteParticipation 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… |
