Ree Fru-Bqe - Fruit Breeding and Quality Evaluation Experience
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Gli studenti che frequenteranno il laboratorio FRUBQE lavoreranno sulla pesca facendo riferimento alla raccolta varietale presente ad Arcagna. In questo contesto gli obiettivi formativi saranno:
1. Conoscenze ed esperienze nell'ambito della filiera ortofrutticola
2. Analisi del germoplasma per migliorare le varietà
3. Aspetti colturali/agronomici del frutteto
4. Esperienze sulla gestione del post raccolta
5. Monitoraggi strumentali previsti lungo tutta la filiera.

Expected learning outcomes
Le tematiche saranno affrontate con l'approccio di tipo professionale e scientifico: partendo da esperienze di
campo legate all'analisi del germoplasma e agli aspetti agronomici del frutteto, si arriverà a prove di shelf life in post raccolta per evidenziare il comportamento del tessuto vegetale coinvolto. Le fasi di monitoraggio e l'applicazione della relativa strumentazione saranno oggetto di particolari approfondimenti. In modo particolare l'esperienza 2020 si caratterizzerà per l'impiego del QualitySpec Trek (NIR acquistato lo scorso anno) che sarà utilizzato per mettere a punto di modelli chemiometrici destinati.

The activity will be carried out under any case, in accordance with the current legislation on anti-Covid 19 measures:
- open field activities do not raise particular problems;
- in the laboratory the safety protocols will be followed, in particular for social distancing.

- in the laboratory the safety protocols will be followed, in particular for social distancing.
Course syllabus
The fruits that will be the subject of the FRU-BQE laboratory will be some fruit tree crops at the 'Dotti' farm Experimental Station in Arcagna (LO).
The topics will be addressed with a professional and scientific approach, i) starting from field training for the assessment of germplasm accessions, ii) the post-harvest shelf life tests will be carried out to highlight the quality aspects and the ripening behavior of the fruit.
Instrumental investigations will be deeply taken into account. In particular, the training work will be characterized by the use of the QualitySpec Trek (up-to-date portable NIR equipment) which will be used to develop the intended chemiometric models to assess fruit quality behaviour, even on tree.

Prerequisites for admission
Fundamentals of arboriculture (tree crops science): morphology and biology elements of the cultivated tree; the genetic bases of the varietal variability and propagation (cultivar and clone concepts); the agronomic bases of cultivation (orchard management) tree-physical relationship) and the influence on product quality.
Teaching methods
Field surveys on the evolution of fruit ripening in the field; chemometric laboratory analysis, both destructive and non-destructive (NIR and alike technologies).
Teaching Resources

Assessment methods and Criteria
Evaluation (passed / not passed), based on field and laboratory works.
