Resumen El granado es conocido desde muy antiguo, su cultivo se ha realizado tradicionalmente en la zona de Oriente próximo, extendiéndose por el resto de Asia y el Mediterráneo. Ac- tualmente, ya extendido por los cinco continentes, presenta unas excepcionales expectativas de cultivo debido a su rentabilidad y a la posibilidad de cultivo en zonas áridas y con meno- res requerimientos hídricos que otros cultivos, siendo capaz de vegetar y producir en condi- ciones en las que otros frutales más importantes no lo harían de manera rentable. El conoci- miento del material vegetal y la selección de nuevos individuos capaces de dar abundantes cosechas y frutos de calidad, unido al descubrimiento de sus numerosas propiedades ali- menticias, farmacológicas, funcionales y cosméticas, ha hecho que este frutal sea cada día más demandado por los consumidores, lo que está provocando, junto a todo lo expuesto anteriormente,un incremento muy considerable de las plantaciones de la especie en todos los países en los que es posible su cultivo. Palabras clave: granado, Punica granatum, comercialización, producción, industriali- zación. 2. Abstract Pomegranate is an ancient fruit tree species traditionally cultivated in the Near and Middle East, Southern Asia and the Mediterranean Basin. In recent years pomegranate has seen a great expansion in several countries, especially those with a Mediterranean-like cli- mate, where fruit of excellent quality can be obtained. The possibilities for its expansion in arid and semi-arid zones and marginal soils of the world are enormous, especially where sa- Poscosecha, www.poscosecha.com - Postharvest, www.postharvest.biz 7 Documentos poscosecha linity and water scarcity are limiting factors for other tree crops. Because of market demand, it has become increasingly important to characterise the different varieties and clones to ob- tain a high quality product with economical interest. Since pomegranate consumption is dri- ven by both fresh market and processing industry, it is crucial to acknowledge all fruit cha- racteristics to not only classify varieties from a botanical point of view, but also to meet cu- rrent market demand for quality fruits. There is a growing interest in this fruit not only be- cause it is pleasant to eat, but also because it is considered to be a functional product of great benefit in the human diet, as it contains several groups of substances that are useful in disease prevention and cosmetics. Keywords: pomegranate tree, Punica granatum, production, industrial processing, mar- keting. 3. Origen, botánica y biodiversidad 3.1.

  • WINE TOUR: ANDALUCIA in a GLASS (Small Exclusive Group Tour 4-12 People)
    Escorted Tours in Andalusia WINE TOUR: ANDALUCIA IN A GLASS (Small exclusive group tour 4-12 people) Whether you are a seasoned fine wine aficionado or simply a lover of the grape looking to enjoy and better your knowledge of it, Andalusia is definitely the place for you! Wine in Andalusia has come a long way since 1100 BC when the Phoenicians first planted their vineyards in the fertile lands of Cadiz. By Roman times, wine was being produced in Andalusia in a big way and interestingly enough, this continued through Moorish times; despite the fact that the Koran frowns on the consumption of alcohol, some found creative ways to interpret the Koran’s words on wine, providing some justification such as medicinal purposes. From the 15th century onwards, Andalusian wines were shipped to appreciative drinkers elsewhere in Europe, particularly England, where there was a great fondness for Sack (as Sherry was called then) and sweet wines from Malaga. This happy situation prevailed until the 19th century when European vineyards were affected by the Oidium fungus (Powdery Mildew), followed by an even more devastating plague of Phylloxera (American vine root louse) which first appeared in Bordeaux in 1868 and spread to South Spain 20 years later. As a result, vineyards were replanted with plague-resistant American rootstock, while some, sadly, never fully recovered... From the historic sherries of Jerez, to the up-and-coming new vineyards in Ronda and Granada province, Andalusia boasts numerous top-quality wines. There are over 40.000 hectares of vineyards planted in 20 regions with over half of the wine production concentrated over 4 major ‘Denominación de Origen’ (D.O.

  • Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada
    Andalusia Spain Culinaria with European Art Curator Ronni Baer & Chef Deborah Hansen November 12 –19, 2017 • Granada & Seville, Spain Granada Beyond the magnificent Moorish Alhambra, visitors will find a distinctive cuisine and a charming city that was once home to celebrated writers and artists. Like Agra, India, and the Taj Mahal, the Andalusian city of Granada in southern Spain is so well known for a single monument—the Alhambra, a walled fortress housing magnificent 13th- to 15th-century Moorish palaces and gardens—that the city itself is sometimes overlooked. With more than two million visitors descending on the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site, every year, the city’s tourism industry had settled into a somewhat formulaic routine of shuttling visitors in and out of the city in about 24 hours. But recently, some other ancient structures have been restored, and the region’s distinc- tive gastronomy has come into its own. The city that was home to the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter José Guerrero, and the composer Manuel de Falla has deep cultural roots, but now a new crop of small foundations and independent exhibition spaces has revived its arty buzz. Let the Alhambra wait a bit while getting seduced by the city that has grown up around it. Andrew Ferren New York Times (August 10, 2017) Granada seems to specialize in evocative history and good liv- ing. Settle down in the old center and explore monuments of the Moorish civilization and its conquest. Taste the treats of a North African-flavored culture that survives here today.

  • Memorial to Josep-Maria Fontboté I Mussolas 1921-1989 MICHEL DURAND-DELGA Université Paul-Sabatier, 31400 Toulouse, France
    Memorial to Josep-Maria Fontboté I Mussolas 1921-1989 MICHEL DURAND-DELGA Université Paul-Sabatier, 31400 Toulouse, France An eminent personality in Spanish geology, Josep-Maria Fontboté, died peacefully in his sleep September 13,1989, at his home at Sant Boi de Llobregat, near Barcelona. He was the best known Spanish geologist of his time outside his own country, and he also played an important role within Spain. He was born on June 8, 1921, in Barcelona, but lived for a long period in Andalusia. The end of his secondary school education and his enrollment at the Catalan Uni­ versity coincided with the end of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and because of his youth he escaped the hor­ rors of war. He was just 17 years old when the troops of General Franco entered Barcelona in January 1939. Between 1939 and 1943 he prepared the “Licen­ ciatura” (M.S.) in natural sciences. In 1943 he was an assistant, and in 1948 assistant professor at the laboratory directed by Professor Solé Sabaris, who introduced him to geomorphology. At the same time Josep increased his knowledge in his preferred disciplines of tectonics and petrology at foreign universities: in Belgium with Professors Fourmarier and P. Michot, and in Switzerland with Pro­ fessor Wegmann. Thus, it was with a solid foundation that he started his Ph.D. thesis, on the Paleozoic axial zone of the Catalan Pyrenees, in the headwaters of the Ter River. In 1961, Josep married his student colleague in geography, Montserrat Rubio i Lois, daugh­ ter of the illustrious humanist Jordi Rubio.
