FRUTIC Symposium 2017 "Quality and safety of Fresh Horticultural Commodities"

With over 50 scientific contributions, the international FRUTIC Symposium on 7 Feb 2017 offers the ideal platform for discussions among experts from the field of research and the fresh product sector. The event will focus on innovations and new technologies to promote the quality and safety of fruit and vegetables. This will be the first time the international scientific meeting is held in association with FRUIT LOGISTICA, the leading trade fair for the international fresh produce industry.

The 10th international FRUTIC Symposium, focussed on the quality and safety of fresh horticultural commodities, is being held at the CityCube Berlin on 7 February 2017, the day before the opening of FRUIT LOGISTICA. Keynote speakers will include leading international experts, such as Prof. Dr. Hidemi Izumi of Kindai University (Japan), Prof. Dr. Maria Isabel Gil of the Spanish National Research Council in Murcia (Spain) and Prof. Dr. Christopher Watkins of Cornell University (USA).

The topics addressed will include technological developments in production, harvesting and post-harvest processing as well as in quality controls for fruit, vegetables and nuts. Among other aspects, the sessions will deal with how pre-harvest conditions influence the post-harvest quality, non-destructive methods of determining quality, and the targeted post-harvest treatment of fruit and vegetables. Innovative packaging and storage concepts will also be presented, such as new processes for sensor-supported quality monitoring, and an approach for optimising packaging and storage systems based on mathematical modelling. In the field of product safety, the programme will include technologies for fresh-cut products and the use of plasma-based decontamination processes.

Scientists will also present their topics during the subsequent three days of the FRUIT LOGISTICA trade fair, in both the Fresh Produce Forum and the Future Lab (http://www.fruitlogistica.de/en/About/Events/Events.jsp).

FRUTIC not only provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to engage in energetic technical discussions about current trends and new developments; it's also about exploring further areas of research needed in the industry.

The FRUTIC Symposium is organised jointly by the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (Germany) and the University of Foggia (Italy) in cooperation with the FRUIT LOGISTICA.

FRUTIC is a series of international scientific conferences, the first of which took place in Israel in 1983. Over the years, FRUTIC has developed into an important platform for the development and application of technologies for fruit, vegetable and nut production, bringing together leading researchers from around the globe. Its new venue will now also attract representatives from the industry.
