CAMIDECOL Operational Group: Innovation project for the characterization of honey and the protection of apiaries

Description

Characterization of honey and defense of the apiary.

Objectives

Comprehensive improvement of the sector from primary production to the final sale of a differentiated quality product (this general objective is part of the lines of action of the PCTI and the Asturias RIS3 strategy).
Obtaining prototypes for complete apiary monitoring and data transmission and analysis
Determine strategies to limit production losses. Evaluate new measures to combat invasive species.
Obtaining a descriptive organoleptic profile of the different Asturian honeys, which will lead to an appropriate characterization for increasing their commercial value.
Development of a honey tasting panel for the sensory evaluation of Asturian honeys.
Search for innovative technologies that determine the characterization of different honeys through the interrelation of their characteristics and attributes.

Results

Selection of farms with difficult communication needs for digitalization.
Evaluation of monitoring, transmission, acquisition, and data processing systems for the unique orographic characteristics of Asturias
Installation of the monitoring and visualization prototypes of the data obtained.
Physicochemical, organoleptic and melissopalynological characterization of a representative number of the different honeys from Asturias selected based on their origin.
Form a tasting panel to determine the sensory characteristics of these different honeys.
Evaluation of new technologies for better characterization of honey. Based on testing with developed prototypes, it is hoped that they will be compared to the established standard analysis with good results.
