After other editions held in Italy, Spain, Germany, Turkey, and UK I am very glad to have the Course in Portugal this year” says Prof. Giancarlo Colelli of UniFg, co-organizer of the event “ as the growing fresh-cut industry in the Country would greatly benefit of sharing ideas and information at international level”.

The program is designed for individuals from the fresh and processed fruit and vegetable industry and will be of interest for food scientists, food engineers, quality assurance personnel and new product development staff. The course also is valuable to representatives from R&D, students, Institutions, food companies, and suppliers (packaging, plant materials, equipments).

Topics will include issues relating to pre-harvest effects on post-harvest quality, handling considerations for a range of fresh cut produce and issues of water sanitation, packaging, and layout of unit operations, including water management. Lectures will be alternated with discussion sessions in order to increase the degree of interaction among participants.
