At the TRACE-RICE final conference in October, several key teams presented their innovative research and developments:
At the TRACE-RICE final conference last October, Inês Sousa, a PhD fellow at INIAV, presented key findings on advancing sustainable pest management in rice storage. Her work focused on behavioural insights, infestation detection, and the effects of essential oils on Sitophilus spp. insects. She also shared updates on ongoing rice trials and outlined future directions aimed at reducing dependence...
At the TRACE-RICE final conference last October, Pedro Sampaio, Associate Professor at Universidade Lusófona and INIAV collaborator, highlighted the results achieved with machine learning-driven classification and quality assessment of rice varieties using NIR spectroscopy. He also presented rice classification models with significant potential for industrial applications. Access the full...
The TRACE-RICE project held its final conference on October 28th, bringing together over fifty stakeholders for a networking and knowledge-sharing event in the ITQB NOVA auditorium. Carla Brites, Coordinating Researcher at INIAV and lead of the consortium, presented an overview of the achievements, emphasizing the 34 deliverables and 14 key performance indicators (KPIs) now available in the...
TRACE-RICE Team Publishes in Food Chemistry: "Validation of an HPLC-MS/MS Method for the Quantification of Pesticide Residues in Rice and Assessment of the Washing Effect"
The TRACE-RICE team has successfully validated a method for quantifying 121 pesticide residues—including carbamates, organophosphates, organochlorines, and pyrethroids—in rice samples. The study adhered to the...
