Milestone progress in the entire project term : December 2014 - March 2018
Abstract
This 9-page table provides a timeline of events (2014-2018) for the successful development, distribution and dissemination of hexanal fruit preservative and nanotechnologies (Enhanced Freshness Formula, EFF). These technologies positively affect the entire value chain of fruit production. Some milestones include: “Fine tuning of hexanal based post-harvest treatments including dip treatment for banana and grapes, vapor treatment, and feasibility studies in mango, banana, grapes and tender fruits and hexanal infused biowax” … “Though some delays due to season, crop failures and non-availability of hexanal in Africa, everyone caught up and archived their targets for nanotechnology approaches for ‘smart packaging systems’…”
