#Optical Technique Sorts Grapes for Wine Quality (ISNS) A team of German scientists has developed an automated process that sorts grapes into different levels of quality for winemaking.
While it's not ready for full-scale use for this year's harvest the scientists plan to have the Grape Sort technology ready by the fall of 2014.
The process relies on optical technology that recognizes the colors of individual grapes. Different colors correspond to different amounts of sugar in the grapes a basic criterion for their wine-making characteristics.
The technology has proved itself in preliminary tests on some of Germany's favorite home-grown varietals:
the grapes for white wines Riesling and Weisser Burgunder and those for the red wines Trollinger and Lemberger.
and insects such as beetles from the grapes a capability that some wineries already possess in other optical approaches.
Second the German technology goes beyond rival systems by distinguishing among different qualities of individual grapes.
and more objectively than manually sorting each individual grape a traditional but time-consuming method used by vintners.
Its high throughput allows us to harvest and select grapes which would not normally be worth harvesting he said.
In an experiment to compare optical grape-sorting with handpicking earlier this year Oberholster's team set up an optical sorter to exclude up to 10 percent of the berries on the basis of poor quality.
The German process uses a special conveying system to load de-stemmed grapes onto a belt that travels past a sorting module.
A high-speed line scan camera photographs the grapes as they pass. After the scan the system's software takes over.
Based on its analysis of the colors of individual items on the belt it controls air jets that blow bad grapes and detritus off the belt and sorts the remaining berries into grades for production of various qualities
In effect the software takes over the role of categorizing individual grapes from human experts. It does so more cheaply and consistently.
which allows us to sort the grapes based on different criteria Vieth said. When the grapes are scanned permanently by line-scan cameras the data stream is processed within tens of milliseconds.
The technology that the process uses to separate grapes of different wine-making characteristics remains secret.
However Vieth said we use color both visible and non-visible light and geometry features to separate the qualities.
When German vineyards wanted an automatic process for sorting their grapes Fraunhofer IOSB presented an obvious choice owing to its experience developing machines that sort tobacco minerals foods and more.
and Ingenierubã ro Waidelich of Tubingen worked on the mechanical tasks such as de-stemming the grapes and some of the electrical processes.
and developing sorting systems we lacked knowledge of grapes Vieth said. So the team incorporated experts from Geisenheim University s Grape Breeding Institute an institution that offers higher degrees in winemaking and dates back to 1872.
The university is related responsible for everything to wine growing selecting the grapes for the tests performing all the laboratory analysis
and making wine out of the selected grapes Vieth said. University viticulture experts will also put the resulting wines through taste tests.

It takes just the right combination of weather events to take the grape from the vine to the bottle.
To produce grapes that will transform into a delicious bottle of wine the grapevines need to grow at a site with good soil drainage full sunlight and soil that is nutrient-poor.
or cause it to produce poor quality fruit. This is why you see grapevines at the top of a small mound Their location allows water that is not needed by the plant to run off.
Full sunlight is another important factor to growth of good wine grapes. Sunlight is the biggest part of a plant's photosynthesis process.
That energy then is converted into glucose in the plant by photosynthesis. Glucose is the sugar in the grape that ferments to become alcohol.
Nutrient-poor soil also makes for a good wine grape. The color and flavor that come from a grape are stored mostly in the grape's skin.
A large grape has more juice and less skin. To concentrate the flavor the vine is grown in nutrient-poor soil
so that the plant becomes stressed. A stressed grapevine will produce smaller grapes perfect for making wine according to motherearthnews. com. http://www. motherearthnews. com/Real-Food/2003-04-01/Growing-Grapes
-and-Making-Wine. aspx#axzz2kisqwofj) Chocolate How can weather affect chocolate? Chocolate is made from cocoa beans.
The beans grow inside of a cacao pod which grows on a cacao tree. The tree needs just the right weather conditions to produce the cacao pods.
Cacao trees grow best in the shade. A constant temperature of 77 degrees F is ideal for the production of cocoa beans.
Rainfall is another factor that determines how well the trees produce the beans. Ideally the trees should have between 40-80 inches of rainfall per year.
When all of the weather factors work out a surplus of cocoa beans can be exported and the price of chocolate is kept low.
If just one of the weather factors is not normal the chocolate industry suffers and prices increase.

#School Lunchroom Changes Get Kids to Eat More Veggies Simple changes in school lunchrooms such as placing fresh fruit near the cash register may boost the amount of healthy foods children eat a new study suggests.
During the study the researchers slightly altered the lunchrooms of two high schools in New york state to make fruits and vegetables more attractive and accessible.
For example fresh fruit was put into attractive bowls or on tiered stands; salad was served in see-through togo containers;
and a sign that read Last Chance for Fruit was displayed next to fruit at the cash register.
Cafeteria staff also prompted the students to try healthy foods with questions such as Would you like to try an apple?
The lunchroom makeover increased the amount of fruit the teens ate by 18 percent and vegetable consumption by 25 percent the researchers said.
Following the makeover the students were 16 percent more likely to eat a whole serving of fruit

#Shaped Like an Apple? Beware Kidney disease Are apples bad for the kidneys? The answer is yes
if you're talking about an apple-shaped body in which fat is concentrated in the abdominal area.
Researchers in The netherlands have found that excess abdominal or belly fat as seen in the so-called apple-shaped body as opposed to the pear-shaped body where the fat is lower down on the hips
and buttocks can significantly raise the risk of kidney disease even among people with a modest-size belly

#The Origins of the Olive tree Revealed The olive was domesticated first in the Eastern Mediterranean between 8000 and 6000 years ago according to new research.
The study reveals that domesticated olives which are larger and juicier than wild varieties were cultivated probably first from wild olive trees at the frontier between Turkey and Syria.
Yet exactly where the olive was cultivated first has been debated hotly. History's Most Overlooked Mysteries To unravel the history of the olive tree the team took 1263 wild
