Camidecol - Innovation project for the characterization of honey and defense of the apiary

The general objective of the project is the comprehensive improvement of the sector from primary production to the final sale of a differentiated quality product (this general objective is framed within the lines of action of the PCTI and the Asturias RIS3 strategy) this is supported by two specific objectives:

• Obtaining prototypes for complete monitoring of the apiary and transmission and analysis of data leading to other objectives:
  • Determine strategies to limit production losses.
  • Evaluate new actions to combat invasive species.
  • Obtaining a descriptive organoleptic profile of the different Asturian honeys, which will lead to an adequate characterization for their increased commercial value.

To this end, other specific objectives are established:

• Development of a honey tasting panel for the sensory evaluation of honey from Asturias.
• Search for innovative technologies that determine the characterization of different honeys through the interrelation of their characteristics and attributes.
