Environmental parameters and methodologies

This deliverable consists in identifying and evaluating the environmental features such as soil climate vegetation ectomycorrhizae in order to establish clear limits for the truffle growing conditions Moreover cultural practices will be tested and finally the proper management techniques which allow improving the truffle production will be defined

Selection of methodologies for plant mycorrhization: morphological and molecular

Current methodologies for plant mycorrhization with Tuber spp will be reviewed and the best practices will be selected for the future definition of a common protocol

Draft of Code of conduct; Template of agreements

Practical instruments to support the local authorities, associations of farmers, manufacturing producers, consumers, for a sustainable exploitation of the truffles, will be provided.These instruments will include, at least: - Draft of laws and regulations for the local authorities; -codes of conducts for associations of stakeholders (producers, farmers, consumers); - template of agreements, such as sell agreements, material transfer agreement, etc.

Mild technology processing techniques (lab and/or pilot scale) for new food products containing truffle and shelf-life assessment

Shelflife assessment of both fresh and processed truffle the latter obtained by using mild technologies will be carriedout by taking particular care of food safety and quality

Ecological features analysis for cultivated truffle species

Key ecologial aspects of typical truffle environments will be considered, such as pedological conditions, humidity, temperature, etc. These conditions, different for each Tuber spp. should be reproduced in truffle cultivation sites

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Public website

The first version of the public website will be functioning by M3, but it will continuously be updated with the public results of the project, and with information directed to the different expected audiences. Appropriate formats will be sought in order to make information useful and accessible.
