Background Fruits are vulnerable to mechanical damages and physiological disorders
caused by the static and dynamic forces acting on them during transportation and abiotic …

Background Bruising is the most common type of mechanical damage, which is inevitable
along the postharvest chain, including harvesting, sorting, packaging and so on. It's the …

Fresh fruits are susceptible to bruising, a common type of mechanical damage during
harvest and at all stages of postharvest handling. In quest of developing and adoption of …

This paper presented an approach using a pendulum method to measure bruise damage of
apples to overcome the limitation of the drop test on impact control on a specific fruit zone …

Bruise damage is one of the mechanical injury problems that could appear in fresh produce
during the post-harvest supply chain. The study investigated three main effects (drop impact …

Bruise damage resulting from excessive impact and compression forces between the point
of harvest and consumption is a major quality problem in fresh fruit marketing. This study …

Impact bruise damage and quality of 'Gim Ju'guava were investigated for different drop
heights and number of drops using fractal image analysis. For the impact test, a stainless …

Mechanical damage resulting from excessive impact force during handling and other
postharvest operations from harvesting to consumption is a critical quality problem in fresh …

Abstract Jujubes (Ziziphus Mauritiana Lamk) are subjected to bruises during harvesting and
post‐harvest processing, which will greatly reduce their commercial values. In this study …

This study examined the effects of impact bruise damage on the postharvest physiological,
response, physicochemical quality and antioxidant properties of pomegranate fruit. Fruit …
