Formal collaboration with:: CONAD del Tirreno - Piattaforma Ittica di Montopoli Valdarno (PI)
Country:: Italy
Description:: The work provided in collaboration with "Mullus barbatus barbatus CONAD del Tirreno" concerns the sensory evaluation of the freshness of fish, molluscs and crustaceans according to the species-specific method devised by QIM - Eurofish, now widely applied worldwide. As part of this collaboration, "CONAD del Tirreno" was assisted in identifying, preparing and, lastly, applying QIM schemes for the most important finfish and shellfish species. Mullus barbatus barbatus was the first species we successfully decided to study, out of its economic relevance.

Formal collaboration with:: MARR SpA, Rimini
Country:: Italy
Description:: This collaboration started in 2013 to allow to achieve shared and specific research objectives (specifically the nutritional and sensory characterization of some species of octopus, as well as two species of mullet).

Collaboration with:: Università degli Studi di BOLOGNA
Country:: Italy
Description:: This cooperation deal was established with the Reasearch Centre for rabbit, avian and seafood species of the Faculty of Agriculture, placed in Ozzano Emilia. Our aim was to define a reapeatable and reproducible procedure in order to determine the textural features of the flesh from small-to-medium size specimens of fish species both farmed and caught in the wild, an up-to-now never examined issue.
