The determination of strawberry fruit quality through the traditional destructive lab techniques has some limitations related to amplitude samples, timing and applicability along all phases supply chain. aim this study was determine main qualitative characteristics Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) in fruits five genotypes. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) applied search for spectral differences among collected samples. A Partial Least Squares regression (PLS) technique computed order...
Strawberry is the most cultivated berry fruit globally and it really appreciated by consumers because of its characteristics, mainly bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties. During breeding process, important to assess quality characteristics fruits for a better selection material, but conventional approaches involve long destructive lab techniques. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) could be considered valid alternative speeding up process not destructive. In this study, total 216...
Phasing out fossil fuels to renewables is currently a global priority due the climate change threat. Advocacy for biomass use as an energy source requires assessing quality and ecological impacts of bioenergy supply chains. This study evaluated residues from orchards silviculture transported different Northern Central Italy locations carbon footprint power plant. The total greenhouse emissions were calculated based on primary data 2017 according ISO/TS 14067. All residue samples showed their...
The pellet energy market is expanding rapidly in Europe and also at the global level, response to continuously growing demand because of high degree reliability, easy handling, cheap simple logistics, comparison other solid biomasses. fast growth this has highlighted problem product quality, which strong repercussions for technical, environmental, economic aspects. biomass quality defined by several chemical–physical parameters that are directly measurable laboratory. In addition, there...
In the context of climate change and increasing demand for innovative solutions in agriculture energy, agrivoltaic systems (AVSs) have emerged as promising technologies. These integrate photovoltaic panels with agricultural practices, optimizing both food energy production. This study provides a comprehensive review focused on monitoring techniques applicable to AVS, including fixed sensors remote tools. Bibliographic analysis revealed significant increase scientific interest AVSs since...
The role of biomass for increasing renewable energy sources mix is considered fundamental, despite some negative environmental impact first-generation biofuels. use obtained in a more sustainable way, as represented by agricultural wastes, should be favoured. Mediterranean area and Italy particular offer large amount vineyard pruning residues that can converted into bioenergy. Since vineyards are exposed to treatments based on copper (Cu) zinc, these metals last wood during accumulate the...
The goal of this work was to test a patented pruning harvester and mobile pelleting system specifically designed for the vineyard agripellet chain. Biomass characterized before after storage stage. performance, fuel consumption, quality were assessed together with productivity power consumption system. Production costs pellet estimated whole logistic chain, considering two scenarios: Storage directly at farm site or dedicated location variable distance from fields. For comparison, direct...
