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:

Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage

SKST-WP2-A25 Video on Varieties: Rai Campus Publication of audio/video content - Performance of new fruit varieties This Video draws the path of a new apple variety departing from the breeding and variety testing, over the sensory sciences to the launching on the market. Apple varieties of the future: what is important for an new variety, what are the current variety Trends? This is explained by Walter Guerra, head of the Institute for fruit growing and viticulture at the Laimburg Research…

OVA-WP4-A26 Optimum preservation of fruit and stems quality in sweet cherries (Prunus avium L. cv. Vanda, Kordia and Regina) Publication in technical journal - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage In a three-year project, in cooperation with the Fruit Science Section of the University of Hannover and the financial support of the cooperative Marktgemeinschaft Altes Land (MAL), the possibilities of a better maintenance of sweet cherries fruit and stem quality were investigated. Various scenarios for the handling of freshly harvested fruits were simulated. Particularly the…
AU-WP4-A3 Postharvest strategies to prevent storage rot Organising/holding industry group meeting/event - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Storage rot is affected by production factors such as cultivar, climate, growing conditions and time of harvest; postharvest handling such as post-harvest pre-treatments, quality control, handling before sale, and conditions in the supply chain such as packaging, temperature, time and changes in ripening of the fruits during storage. Postharvest hot water treatment may increase or…
AU-WP4-A1 Development of a method for profiling of volatile organic compounds to monitor heat stress in hot water dipped apples Publication in scientific journal (peer review) - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Storage rot is a major contributor to losses of organic apples due to restrictions in spraying in orchards. Postharvest pre-treatments such as hot water dipping (HWD) have been proven successful to reduce storage rot. However, excessive heat during dipping easily induces heat stress and physiological disorders, which only show up after several weeks of cold storage. To develop…
Agroscope-WP4-A9 Nanopore sequencing of the genome of an apple blossom isolate of Metschnikowia pulcherrima Final project conference participation with presentation (poster) - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Nanopore sequencing is a novel technology which allows sequencing of entire genomes using a relatively cheap, handheld device – Oxford Nanopore’s MinION – powered by a state of the art personal computer. The technology generates long reads allowing for high quality genome assemblies while offering unmatched portability and simplicity of use. Here we aimed for sequencing the whole…
Agroscope-WP4-A8 A metagenomic approach to assess Neofabraea infection and dynamics on stored apples Publication in scientific journal (peer review) - Fruit quality; improvement of fruit handling/storage Microbes are an integral part of the biome and interact in many ways with the plant products that humans produce for food. While the detrimental effect of postharvest pathogens on fresh produce can be characterized by classical microbiology, little is known about the infection dynamics of plant pathogens before symptoms appear. This holds especially true for Neofabraea spp. the…
