ABOUT US<\/h2>\n

Project StopMedWaste aims to extend the shelf-life of perishable fresh fruit<\/h3>\n

vegetables and aromatic plants by applying physical means, natural compounds and biocontrol agents. These treatments will be applied in the laboratory, under semi-commercial conditions and in the packing houses. The effects of these treatments on fruit quality, decay, and development of food-borne pathogens will be monitored during storage, transportation and shelf-life, to define the impact of these treatments on food waste. Moreover, logistic solutions and information and communication technology (ICT) devices with remote control will monitor environmental conditions during storage and transportation. Smart packaging will be developed for visual demonstration of the quality of fresh fruit, vegetables and aromatic plants for the consumer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The life-cycle assessment<\/h3>\n

of these technologies will be monitored to define their sustainability. Training activities for operators will be organised and dissemination will be performed to share gained experiences and best practices among players and stakeholders through the whole supply chain, including consumers. Project StopMedWaste includes a multi-actor approach, with skills from researchers to companies involved in processing, storage and transportation, to move from production to consumer, following the properties of the produce under simulated and commercial retailer conditions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
