Content

Crop harvest products are utilised as food, feed and in the non-food sector. The quality of harvest products (e.g. chemical composition, physical properties, processing quality etc.) is affected by agronomy, cultivar and environmental conditons. Quality features are important in marketing and utilisation of crop products. In the context of reducing emissions from the agro-food sector to stop global warming, the quality of plant-based foods is a key factor (concentration of individual components, nutritional value, consumer acceptance, food safety etc.) for a sustainable transformation of the future food sector.
