Cultivation and Refining of Iris germanica and Iris pallida in Bavaria
Establishment of a complete and new value chain in Bavaria on the cultivation of iris rhizomes and the production of valuable products. It is planned to realise and evaluate the cultivation, the harvest and the refinement as an integrated processing chain from the farmer to the manufacturer of the final products. The final products are as dried and processed iris rhizomes very valuable, they are used in the pharmaceutical, food and beverages as well as in the cosmetics and fragrance industrie. A further aim of the project is the scientific mentoring and intergrated risk analysis of the whole value added chain from the establishment of the new special culture over all processing steps up to the final products. For this purpose a specific software will be used. All in all a new approach for testing and optimising new value added chains in the Bavarian agriculture should be pointed out.
The specialty crop iris and the processing of iris rhizomes for the fragrance and flavor industry was successfully established in Bavaria. For this, planting, weeding and harvesting techniques were developed. In addition, procedures to clean, to chop and to dry the rhizomes were established. Thereby the use of current techniques and its respective modification was helpful. the development of the new processes can initially be realized with cheap second-hand devices. Based on this, the ongoing adjustement of the eqquipment during use or a complete conversion during winter was necessary and possible. The capability to recognize and to solve problems already on the field or during processing is crucial. In case of complex products like iris, the collaboration with other participants like producing companies or scientific institutes is recommended, as not all occurring challenges can be managed alone.
