英国格林威治大学PQC农产品质量检测中心开启樱桃加工与保鲜贮藏研究新项目

New project on cherry production and storage

We are delighted to be starting a project on cherries with our partners Norton Folgate Marketing, CE Murch, Storage Control Systems, TerraPrima Group and International Water Solutions. This project is funded through the Growing Kent and Medway Project (UKRI) and seeks to improve the quality and storage-life of Kent grown cherries through a combination of approaches including reflective mulches, respiratory monitoring to optimise harvest maturity for storage and novel technologies for decontamination in the field and the packhouse.

Monitoring potato physiology during storage using the P-Pod

We are very proud to be working with Storage Control Systems on the development of the P-Pod.  This equipment has evolved from the SafePod technology developed to improve long-term low oxygen apple storage. 

With its ability to monitor the atmosphere and the respiration of tubers the P-Pod provides an invaluable tool both for carrying out storage trials within research facilities and also to monitor the response of tubers to storage environments within commercial stores. In previous seasons this research programme was carried out as a collaboration between the PQC and our colleagues at Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research (SBCSR).  Wtih the closure of Sutton Bridge the work is now being carried out at our Kent facility. 

The picture shows a P-Pod in a bulk potato store in the US.
