MSU and Panasonic: A control system of content of useful substances and vitamins B the grown-up vegetables

2019: Development of the system of control of content of useful substances and vitamins B the grown-up vegetables

On August 20, 2019 it became known that Biological faculty MSU in cooperation with Panasonic Russia of the beginnings system development which is noninvasively controlling the content of useful substances and vitamins B the grown-up vegetables and also the speed of falling of their concentration after cutting.

As it was reported that the first 24 hours of "life" of svezhesrezanny greens – the most valuable to the consumer. Packaging of leaves in plastic bags can suspend quality degradation of leaves for 2-3 days, but promotes its acceleration at later stages. Therefore cultivation of greens in close proximity to the consumer is the most effective business model thanks to which not only terms and delivery cost are reduced, but also the maximum freshness of a product remains.

For August, 2019 it understand modern business and the authorities. For example, in Moscow the strategy of Urban Health ("The healthy city") is implemented, one of the priority directions of which is a development and deployment of methods of providing inhabitants with fresh food.

City vertical greenhouses – that case when the advantage is perfectly combined with economy and business efficiency. People receive organic, useful and tasty vegetables of clear origin, and producer - the guaranteed sales market for many years. It is sure that increase in awareness on such solutions and reduction in cost of technologies will promote the active growth of this direction in the next years. Herman Gavrilov, the head of development of business and integrated solutions of Panasonic Russia told

Specialists of Biological faculty MSU not only investigated quality of lettuce leaves, but also defined the most effective method of noninvasive control.

We compared two approaches in monitoring — on the basis of visualization by the PAM method and visualization using the hyper spectral reflectometer — for monitoring of early changes of quality of svezhesrezanny lettuce leaves. The first approach is focused on functional diagnostics of the photosynthetic device and it is considered the most sensitive to fast state changes of photosynthesizing bodies and fabrics of plants. The second approach is traditional for remote sensing of plants and has the considerable potential for assessment of productivity of green parts of plants, assessment of biomass, the maintenance of a chlorophyll and development of damages. Dmitry Akhayev, the deputy dean of Biological faculty MSU for the innovation activity told
