Let’s find out within a minute how many vitamins are in the vegetable or fruit
The vitamin content of vegetables and fruits is useful information for every farmer, as he lets them ripen or changes his care accordingly. Previously, a laboratory test was required to determine the current vitamin content, the evaluation of which could take days. Today, however, there is a tool that allows us to know the result within a minute. This is exactly what Yookr, developed in the Netherlands and supported by the EU, is all about.
“Normally, if you want to know how many vitamins are in the vegetable or in fruit, it takes at least days to have this measurement back because it goes to the lab, and then it has to be sent back. And now, you measure it with a sensor. It’s getting you the right information within, let’s say, within a minute,”
says John van Helden, Director & Owner of Yookr.
Climate change is forcing us to think much harder about how and where our food is grown. In the Netherlands, a European project called ‘EMR Food Screening aims to support producers when it comes to making that transition.
The project’s flagship device is a biosensor. While not yet fully commercialised it can quantify the number of vitamins contained in cucumbers and other fruit and vegetables in real-time in the field
