Follow five of the novelties related to postharvest included in Fruit Logistica 2020 Spotlight: Autumnal grape flavourThe AUTUMNCRISP® variety of grape stands out for its sweet and juicy flavour with a light note of muscatel, and its firm texture. This makes it popular among consumers, but producers also benefit from its traits, because the grape's strong resistance to environmental influences makes it relatively low-maintenance during cultivation. As with all innovations from SUN WORLD INTERNATIONAL, the development of this grape – which ripens in late autumn – requires much time and patience. The breeding and development of AUTUMNCRISP® took 18 years before it was ready for market, where it is now sold via partners in Australia, Africa, South America, North America, Europe and Israel.  Healthy and flavourfulWith its new tomato variety YOOM™, SYNGENTA SEEDS is presenting a fruit at FRUIT LOGISTICA 2020 that stands out for its unmistakeably unique flavour. Simultaneously sweet and tart, it has its own umami note as well. This flavour was combined with a high content of the flavonoid anthocyanin. It is believed that this water-soluble plant pigment has a positive impact on health. YOOM™ is easy to see in the vegetable cupboard for its violet colour. The tomato is cultivated in multiple countries by select Syngenta Seeds partners and can be purchased in branded baskets, individually, or on the vine. YOOM™ is primarily supposed to attract a young and health-conscious target group.  Spicy asparagus with a kickFamily-owned company TEBOZA works along the entire chain of production, from the development of new varieties to cultivation to the sale of asparagus. And this company from the Netherlands is bringing an innovative product to FRUIT LOGISTICA: freshly peeled and spicy pickled asparagus tips in a glass jar. The pickled asparagus is made at times when a lot of fresh asparagus is available, preventing excess production on the market. At the same time, they meet customers' demand for easy-to-eat vegetables. The pickled asparagus tips' flavour is between that of pickles and normal asparagus in a jar, and the base juice is enriched with spices and herbs. This delicacy can be served cold, and is tasty as a side to a hearty snack or in a salad, for example. The art of healthy livingWith the new consumer brand Ikygai, TOP SEEDS INTERNATIONAL is repositioning itself on the market. This producer of seeds is playing a stronger role in the supply chain. Based on the Japanese term for a balanced and healthy lifestyle, all of Ikygai's products stand for health, beauty, flavour and inspiration. The brand includes Top Seeds International's particularly nutritious products. One of them is Yuka. This tomato variety is cultivated at select locations where salt-rich soil improves its flavour and nutrition. The elegant, uniform Yuka cherry plum tomato has a strong stem with an average weight of 30-35 grams. It is resistant to splitting, tastes fresh, sweet and juicy, and is thus more like a fruit than a tomato.Pictures1 - The grape variety AUTUMNCRISP® tastes especially sweet and juicy2 - The tomato YOOM™ combines healthy characteristics with an unmistakeable flavour3 - The pickled asparagus tips from Teboza are a healthy and delicious snack4 - The cherry plum tomato Yuka has a sweet, fruity flavour
