  • Storage of agro-food products. Controlled

atmosphere storage of fruit and vegetables, Dynamic controlled atmosphere, Ultra low controlled atmosphere

  • Postharvest physiology of fruit and vegetables.
  • Postharvest disorders (apple and pears, internal

browning and superficial scald)

  • Maturity indices of horticultural crops.
  • Non destructive measurement of quality (Near

Infrared spectroscopy, Time Resolved Spectroscopy).
