Project Partners will meet again in Budapest on 7-10 June, 2023!

During the study visit, 10 PhD students and 12 researchers from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia will take part in the second module of the 5-modules training on digital food quality evaluation methods. According to their expertise, the researchers from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences in Budapest (MATE) will provide a training on non-destructive analytical methods for food quality evaluation, including near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS), ultrasonic measurement, acoustic measurement, electronic tongue and electronic nose. These techniques are useful to provide more accurate and objective characterization of the food samples as the generally used human sensory evaluation. These rapid and nondestructive analytical methods are more sensitive than the human evaluation therefore, they can provide information already about minor changes of quality (e.g. technological defects, adulteration, shelf life problems).

Programme of the visit will also include field trips to local food production companies, communication & dissemination activities, networking with stakeholders and a project meeting (project management).
