Japanese quince (chaenomeles japonica) - a new european fruit crop for production of novel juice, flavour and fibre

Objetivo

Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) is an East Asian dwarf shrub, at present, to a minor extent, cultivated in the Baltic countries. The crop is propagated by seeds and extremely heterogeneous. The very firm fruits, with a high content of fibre, cannot be consumed fresh but need to be processed. A valuable sugarjuice concentrate is produced and used as an appreciated aroma, preferably for the manufacture of beverages. No vaneties are available but bilateral research on domestication is ongoing (Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania). The crop is thus underdeveloped yet with many interesting potentials.

The overall objective is, within the framework of a sustainable agricuiture, to develop Japanese quince to a unique and competitive European fruit crop. The primary products to be obtained are: acidic juice (for blending), exotic aroma and fruit fibre (rich in pectins). Furthermore, the potential primary products are fragrance and seed oi1. The project aims at carrying out necessary fundamental and applied research to develop Japanese quince to a profitable fruit crop and to establish relevant knowledge and potentials from biological, industrial and economic point of view. The project also aims at proving the possibility to develop high quality products. This can be done in an efficient way only if actions are coordinated and all links in the chain from seed to finished products are carefully investigated and evaluated. The issues to be investigated are: I) domestication, 2) biochemical characterization, 3) processing & products and 4) market & economy. The integrated approach, involving universities, research organisations, industry and SME partners promotes are efficient process where equipment and expertice are utilized in an most favourable way. Thus the process from development to introduction to the market is shortened, simultaneously allowing rapid multi-directional transfer of results. The participation of partners from Latvia and Lithuania on project by project basis gives access to genetic resources and plant breeding expertice. At the same time, knowledge is established in the project, supporting a sound development of commercial production in these countries, including improved vaneties, management practices and processing know-how. The primary and finished food products, based on Japanese quince, will meet an expanding world market (juice, flavour and fruit fibre) as will the potential non food products (fragrance and oil). Development of Japanese quince will thus promote primary production and processing within Europe and provide possibilities to export of new high quality products. The assumed suitability for both large and small scale production (cultivation and processing) will allow dynamic rural development, adding cultural, environmental and ornamental values to the landscape through a most beautifulnew crop.
