Seed cultivation and breeding companies

The fruit and vegetable sector is constantly innovating. Not only from a technical point of view, but also when it comes to new species. Kiwa AQS can help seed cultivation and breeding companies to determine the quality of new varieties before they come onto the market. Extensive quality assessments – internal and external quality, firmness, brix, etc. – and shelf life tests show how newcomers score compared to the standard varieties.

  • Shelf life study/benchmark

    Fruit and vegetable companies can turn to Kiwa AQS for the quality assessment of products during a fixed period under specific conditions. This shelf life check provides insight into how the quality of products develops over time. This can also be done in a benchmark in which comparable products of different origin, variety, suppliers and in different packaging are compared with each other.
