The project received financial supports from Regions Bretagne and Pays de Loire regions and UNICID.

The project aimed to develop juice and cider production methods and to design various tools usefull for companies to control the color of their products, excluding the use of dyes and optimizing inputs. A varietal selection approach has been initiated and a variety of interest for Rosé ciders has already been identified and protected. Finally, consumer studies have helped to better understand the perception of the color of ciders and to identify different types of cider.
