FRIETS (Sustainable optimization of the value chain of added value fresh and dried berries through the integration of Precision Agriculture management strategies and innovative dehydration and edible coating) is a MSCA RISE H2020 project aiming in training crossdisciplinary scientists from 5 European countries, in collaboration with international SMEs, for the development and marketization of personalized, nutritious and innovative, soft fruit smart snacks that contain no added sugar, sodium or chemical preservatives, as a palatable way to increase daily fruit consumption. FRIETS smart snacks will include novel processed berries (strawberry, raspberry and blackberry) with superior quality and nutritional characteristics, as well as extended shelf-life. Pre-harvest management practices will be optimized for cultivating high-quality berries. FRIETS implementation will be based on staff secondments, strengthening collaborative research among different countries and sectors.
