WP9: Physical methods of evaluation of fruit and vegetable quality

Leader of WP9: Dr. hab. Bohdan Dobrzański

Objectives:
  • improvement and promotion of cooperation with EU and Candidate Countries in the field of evaluation of fruit and vegetable quality,
  • establishing a training centre at IA PAS, ensuring access to the newest knowledge and data existing in EU laboratories,
  • unification of measurement techniques and methods of quality estimation of fruits and vegetables,
  • implementation of the European Standards of physical properties important for the quality of fruit and vegetables.
Deliverables and milestones for the package:
  • increased networking achieved through organizing three missions to EU countries,
  • joint scientific publications,
  • a workshop for post-graduate students and industry engineers in the field of fruit and vegetables,
  • publication of training manual on methods of measurement and test procedures for evaluation of the quality of fruit and vegetables.

General activities:
  • increasing comprehension of the physical properties of fruit and vegetables in order to design efficient handling and processing systems,
  • unification of terminology and standardization of measuring methods for better understanding and comparison of results from different, interdisciplinary laboratories,
  • closer collaboration with outstanding centres in EU countries to assure compatibility in approach to mechanics of fruit and vegetables over the partners network.
Example of activity realized within the WP9:
  • physical methods of evaluation of fruit and vegetable quality important for storage, handling and processing.
