Quality control of fruit and vegetables
In this course you will learn the entire inspection process. Key training topics are assessing the product quality, the correct use of measuring equipment, and recognizing diseases and disorders. You will also learn about the biology of products, packaging, and transport/storage conditions.
Choose a product specific course
The course focuses on a specific product or product group such as apples, grapes, mangoes, citrus, tomato or any other fruit or vegetable. We cover both basic knowledge and more in-depts topics related to post-harvest. Examples of attendees are quality inspectors, professionals in trade and sales, retailers, students, researchers and consultants.
Storage conditions and technologies
The response of fruit and vegetables to changes in the environment is fascinating. Each product has its own optimal transport and storage conditions. In this course we discuss the importance of temperature, humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene. We then learn how these conditions can be influenced by using different technologies.
