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

Common protocol for the plantation of inoculated seedlings

This protocol will be defined after sharing of information and experiences among the participants and successive selection of the best practices to put inoculated seedlings in the fields

Economic and Institutional aspects

A study on the economical and institutional aspects will be elaborated after studying the economic and political structure ruling the private and public markets concerned with truffle production in the Counties where the project takes place.

Practices will be defined after sharing of information and experiences among the participants and successive selection of the best cultural practices for orchards renovation

Guideline for collection, commercialisation and search of the truffles

The following issues will be taken into major consideration in defining guidelines for collection, commercialisation and search of the truffles:- Problems concerning the collection of the truffles in relation to the rights of the land owners and of the local communities; - Problems related to the legal discipline of property on the truffles; - Questions concerning the circulation of the truffle within the EU internal market and the commerce from/towards the third countries;Protection of the health of the consumers;- Avoiding the fraud in damage of consumers the unfair competition damaging the EU undertakings;- Legal/ethical problems concerning the protection of the environment and of the biodiversity - Elaborating system of the certification of the quality;-Other ethical and legal issues

Best practices to produce new brand of truffle processed food in the Mediterranean area

Studies on truffle pre-treatment, preservation and processing conducted during this project will provide guidelines containing the best practices to produce new brand of truffle processed food in the Mediterranean area.

New and appropriate methods for physical and sensorial evaluation of truffles and their processed food

Studies regarding sensorial properties to evaluate both fresh and processed truffle, by taking particular care in defining specific descriptors and rheological properties able to characterize truffle products, will be carried-out. Specific descriptors will be identified by using reference data. A group of panellists will be identified and trained

Cultural practices suitable for truffle cultivation

Practices will be defined after sharing of information and experiences among the participants and successive selection of the best cultural practices of truffle cultivation

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

Manual for the management of natural sites of the most important truffle species

Results and data collected during the project about the management of truffle wild sites will be used to provide a public manual with the best practices to manage and preserve the natural productive sites of most important truffle species

New and appropriate high-performance analytical methods to evaluate truffle and their processed food

Specific high-performance analytical methods on both fresh and processed truffle aimed to characterize them will be carried-out. In addition to the ordinary analysis essential addressed to identify the basic chemical as: pH, dry matter, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, ashes, some instrumental high-performance analysis will be performed.

Cultural practices for fruits and truffle cultivation and propagation

Practices will be defined after sharing of information and experiences among the participants and successive selection of the best cultural practices for cultivation and propagation of fruits and truffles

Important steps to check for certification of Tuber inoculated plants

The most important aspects and steps for the certification of the inoculated host plants will be defined

Development of a common protocol for pathogen and fraud detection in truffles and truffled products

detection of pathogens in truffle and truffled products will be approached by a combination of traditional microbiology analysis, applying ISO standards, and rapid methods for food microbiology, as molecular methods or epifluorescence. For detection of frauds in truffled products, label and ingredients will be studied, then, for the analysis will be used: microscopic identification to determine spores morphology, molecular methods as multiplex PCR to identify truffle species, instrumental methods using Headspace Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) and semi instrumental methods Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry (GC-O) for detecting artificial (Bis(methylthio)methane) and genuine aromas, and finally, a sensory analysis to complete the hedonic part of the analysis.Finally, a common protocol for pathogen and fraud detection in truffles and truffle products will be published

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.
