The aim of the joint research unit SQPOV is to contribute to the redesign, with a view to sustainable feeding, of processes for processed fruit and vegetables: for the improvement of nutritional quality, by processing treatments calculated as accurately as possible while respecting the microbiological safety of these products, and aiming at a total recovery of the biomass used.
The challenge for the unit is to better understand the determinants of the quality and safety of plant products and more specifically of processed fruits and vegetables, with a focus, for quality, on micro-constituents (structure, quantities, recovery) and for safety, on reducing the microbiological risk associated with sporulated bacteria.
