ES2530887
Device for taking images of the canopy of trees that allows observing the treetops from the ground and quantifying damage caused by atmospheric agents, health status or fruit production without the need for lifting means (ladders, platforms, etc.).), which reduces the risk to the observer. The device consists of an extendable pole with a horizontal platform with a transverse rectangular frame at one end, and a moving metal plate with an image-taking device on the other. The device is operated from the ground, and allows to adjust the angle of the platform by means of an elbow located in its lower part and the distance of the device to the frame of reference by means of a moving metal plate.

It allows to separate the geniposide peak of the rest of the components of the saffron in a time less than 2 minutes. It allows to detect unequivocally the adulteration of saffron with gardenia through the determination of geniposide. The use of geniposide as a marker of adulterations of saffron with extracts of gardenia allows to perform a quality control of the saffron and to detect adulterations of saffron with gardenia in a sensible and unequivocal way. It allows to detect up to 0.004 % of geniposide in saffron making it a very sensitive procedure.
