Some more details on deliverables
D5.1 : QMEA models and optimisation strategies to control mycotoxin and spoilage risk of berries [Month 48]
Probabilistic models will be developed to allow the evaluation of mycotoxin and fungal risks during the different production scenarios of the preserved berries. The optimal conditions for controlling the microbial risks in berries and the effect of edible coating and drying will be identified
Milestones
MS5. QMEA Model framework
Framework model for partner review
MS6. Process optimization, shelf life assessments
Scenarios developed for partner review
