#ResearchStay :
Cecilia’s #research aims to detect false codling moth in citrus fruit through #aromas . So, we are setting up large field #experiments in South Africa and meeting with the growers and packhouses to identify the main challenges.
Stay tuned for the results!

PRIMESOFT_Horizon Europe hands-on training on SIFT-MS to determine #aroma profile (@KUL_Postharvest)

SIFT-MS is explored as an alternative to GC-MS analysis towards faster determination of aroma profile in a more cost-effective manner

#1 Aspects which need to be taking in account for an optimal working GCMS system.

#2 Parameters which have influence on optimizing a HS-SPME_GCMS protocol

#NewPaper : How does frying impact the structure of products like chips?
We contributed to this new paper: using #NMR , #HPLC and #XCT , we describe structural and chemical changes during frying.

#NewScientist

Quang Binh Hoang has started as a #PhD researcher. He is going to investigate the aroma of #durian fruit during the maturity stage and cold storage. Based on these insights, #postharvest #technologies will be developed to improve the storage life of durian fruit.

#NewPaperAlert 🚨:
Exciting news from the world of #plants and #DeepLearning ! Astrid Tempelaere from MeBioS Postharvest KUL proposes a novel approach to generating synthetic CT images of #fruitdefects using #cGANs . 🍐🤖

Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere ( #DCA )

Interactive storage systems are now being extensively used to extend storage duration

The DCA system developed by MeBioS Postharvest KUL is based on #Respiratory #Quotient and is an alternative to other DCA systems offered into the market

Alles en iedereen een digitale tweeling, zelfs een #appel ! “Met digitale tweelingen kan je voorspellen hoe vruchten zich na oogst gedragen, naargelang ras, pluktijd, seizoen”, zegt Pieter Verboven MeBioS Postharvest KUL #digitaletweelingen #digitaltwins stories.kuleuven.be/nl/verhalen/di…

Over the years, we have collected large #CT datasets of various #plant species. Several years ago, we created an online platform to share data: X-Plant. It's still expanding, and diversifying!
