Postharvest Utilisation and Application of Secondary Metabolites

Principal Investigators: Prof. Noureddine Benkeblia

The aims of this project are the profiling and the characterisation of the secondary metabolites of specific plants and the study of their potential natural and biological preservations more specifically to control postharvest diseases of fresh crops.

Postharvest Preservation of Fresh Tropical Fruits

Principal Investigators: Prof. Noureddine Benkeblia

The aims of this research project are the investigation of the different hurdle technologies for the preservation of the quality of horticultural crops, in particular tropical and caribbean fruits, and how to preserve their freshness and extend their shelf-life.

Metabolism and Metabolomics of Fruits Maturation and Ripening

Principal Investigators: Prof. Noureddine Benkeblia

The aims of this research project are to study the different postharvest stages of fresh crops, and building novel sets of data on the metabolic transition from immature, ripe and senescent fruit, as well as the effects of the different stresses affecting the fresh crop tissues during the handling, minimal processing and storage.
