WP9: Physical methods of evaluation of fruit and vegetable quality
|
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.
