Background A deep understanding of the motion and the intensities of forces endured by the
fruits overtime during the various handling processes is necessary if improvements are to be …

Mechanical damage of fresh fruit occurs throughout the postharvest supply chain leading to
poor consumer acceptance and marketability. In this review, the mechanisms of damage …

Fresh strawberry fruit is highly susceptible to damage during mechanical handlings. To
prevent fruit macro-damage from external forces and predict damage evolution in internal …

Fresh strawberries are susceptible to mechanical damage during transportation, leading to
high loss rates. This problem can be addressed through the development of appropriate …

The biological materials such as potato tissue are made up of thin-walled, liquid-filled foam-
like parenchyma cells. The sample preparation for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by …

Mechanical damage is a threat to both food security and sustainability. Bruising is the most
common type of mechanical damage, and it causes a huge economic loss due to rejection of …

Impact damage in potatoes affects its microstructure and leads to quality loss. The finite
element simulation of the micromechanical alterations in the tissue and cells of potato in …

The complexity of food materials can be attributed to their hygroscopic, amorphous,
heterogeneous, and porous structure. During processing, the microstructure of food …

This study evaluated the bruise susceptibility of pomegranate fruit and textural properties of
impact bruised fruit during long-term storage. Pomegranate fruit were stored at 5ºC and 85 …

Potato peel, as the outermost tissue of the fruit, playing a role of protection and fresh keeping
on the pulp tissue, is crucial for the design of potato harvesting machines. In this study, two …
