The project: Development of optimal post-harvest technology for kiwi berry fruit (Actinidia arguta), and a prototype of a non-invasive sorting module based on mat (MODOM)<\/strong><\/p>

MiniKiwi fruit has already been described many times on SGGW’s website, so it is not a new story for our community, nevertheless, our scientists are conducting further research to optimise post-harvest processes.<\/p>

The operation aims to develop and bring into practice a post-harvest innovative procedure for kiwi berry fruits, including post-harvest treatment and long-term refrigeration (mainly post-harvest cooling and refrigeration conditions) as well as innovative technology enabling non-invasive classification of kiwi berry fruit in terms of maturity, including the construction of sorting module prototype.<\/p>

The development of these two solutions will support the previously developed and implemented MiniKiwi cultivation technology. The authors hope that the results will contribute to an increase in the production of these fruits in Poland and will affect the competitiveness of Polish producers in the domestic and foreign markets. They also hope this will enable MiniKiwi fruit (kiwi berry) to enter the market.<\/p>

The tests were conducted on ‘Weiki’, a basic, late-maturing variety grown in Poland. The research related to the development of the prototype was conducted on an early maturing variety called ‘Geneva’.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Development of an optimal post-harvest procedure for mini kiwi fruit (kiwi berry):<\/b><\/p>

Research related to the implementation of the first objective, i.e., the development of optimal post-harvest technology, was carried out at the facilities of the consortium member, Adam Kostrzewa’s farm in Bodzew (Belsk Du\u017cy).<\/span><\/p>

The experiments were conducted immediately after the fruit harvest, i.e. in autumn 2020 and 2021. Due to the nature of the research, two series of analyses were necessary to assess the impact of the variability of the plant material caused by the environmental conditions to enhance the reliability of the results. After the first trial season, the worst options were rejected and the group focused on comparing the remaining options. The experiments conducted as part of the operation were intended to answer the questions:<\/span><\/p>
