Recent Research
Scientific Co-Ordinator Julie Beattie has compiled a database of bioactive compounds found in berries and soft fruit. This brings together many pieces of research which have taken place over the last few years. The database is not available online but we can forward a CD copy (the program runs in Access) to any interested parties. To order, click here
