abstract- bruising degrades the quality of fresh apple fruits. reducing bruise damage is of utmost importance in designing and developing processing equipments. the main objective of the present study was to introduce an analytical method to predict the allowable static load applicable to apple fruits. to predict the strain energy absorbed by the fruit, a point load was applied on the solid sph...

Bruising is defined as damage of fruit tissue as a result of external forces which cause physical changes of texture or chemical changes of color, smell and taste. With the development in imaging technology, on-line detection of bruises on fruits & vegetables is feasible. Proposed system is developed for finding surface and subsurface defects along with their sizes in percentages with respect t...

one of the main factors that cause to quality loss for fresh fruit market apples is bruise damage. amongst the factors that affect apple sensitivity to bruising, major one is drop height and area profile during the impact. in the present study, four iranian apple varieties consisted of atirli, kapak, kowse and paiez that were selected and 100 fruits of each variety were picked up, then apples w...

gain of enough knowledge on how to reduce mechanical damages is indispensable in developing fresh fruit handling as well as post harvest systems. this research was performed to determine and compare the susceptibility of five apple varieties to impact loads in khorasan region. five apple varieties of khorasan region (aroos, abbasi, yellow lobnani, red lobnani and golshahi) were loaded by two im...

ABSTRACT- For most fruit types, including apples, bruising is the most common type of postharvest mechanical injury. Bruise susceptibility was investigated in 3 commercial cultivars (‘JazzTM’, ‘Granny Smith’ and ‘Fuji’) and among a range of 4 different fruit sizes (commercial counts of 135, 120, 100, and 88) in each cultivar. Bruising was carried out by dropping a uniform round steel ball (110g...
