Description
From: 01/02/2014 To: 06/02/2014
Research on the use of spectroscopy and complementary technologies in detecting phytosanitary products in situ in whole olives.
Investigate the application of spectroscopy and electronic nose technologies for the detection of phytosanitary products in whole olives in situ in order to ensure compliance with regulatory limits for these compounds in olive oils and perform real-time monitoring of the production process that allows rapid identification of problems and immediate action related to the presence of contaminants, helping to reduce waste and improving the efficiency and quality control of olive oils, as well as performing an appropriate classification of the fruit, before milling, to achieve "zero residue" oils, which are highly valued by today's consumers.
The specific technical objectives carried out in the Applied Photonics Group are:
From 05/2023 to 04/2024
308,010 €
Support grants for Innovative Business Groups to improve the competitiveness of small and medium-sized companies and the call for applications for 2023, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
