Astonishing results for Quafety articles on FreshPlaza
In 2012, FreshPlaza has published more than 50 articles on quality and safety of fresh-cut produce. The articles published were revised texts from international scientific studies and personal communications.
We have disseminated the research work of Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, UK, USA, Brazilian, Thai, Iranian and other scientists to underline the increasing importance of this produce sector all over the world.
The articles resulted to be well appreciated by FreshPlaza reading public. The 10 most read articles during 2012 were:
The articles were published within dedicated Quafety sections inside the international editions of FreshPlaza.
All the published articles are available on www.quafety.eu official site (under the News - Fresh-Cut News menu), which has been created by FreshPlaza during the year 2012.
The articles on fresh-cut safety concerned the tools and strategies (heat treatment, UV light, ozone, organic acids, etc.) to control and limit pathogen growth, such as Listeria spp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacteraceae.
The articles on fresh-cut quality concerned the tools and strategies to reduce the quality decay due to enzymatic activity, tissue browning, tissue softening, leakage, off-odour development, etc., and to extend the shelf-life of the fresh-cut products.
Considering the success of the first-year of dissemination activities, we are going to continue in 2013 and we invite all scientists who works in the field of fresh-cut produce to send us scientific papers to disseminate their results to all fresh-cut chain actors.
We can create a great connection between enterprises and research institutes by the dissemination of innovations, feasible strategies, data and results.
