Background Incidence of postharvest losses in the fresh produce value chain is a worldwide
concern facing food security and sustainability. Postharvest losses can occur along the …

Background Bruising is a kind of subcutaneous tissue injury that does not involve the rupture
of fresh fruit epidermis. This damage can occur at any stage from picking, storage and …

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 …

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 …

The bruising phenomenon of apple fruit under impact loading is still a very important
problem to be solved in order to design optimal harvest and processing systems and for …

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 …

This study examined three main possible effects (impact, storage temperature, and duration)
that cause and extend the level of bruising and other quality attributes contributing to the …

Bruising is the most common type of damage occurring during all stages of postharvest
handling, and it is difficult to detect by human inspection because of minor changes in …

Fresh fruits like bananas are very susceptible to mechanical damage during postharvest
handling which can result in a substantial decline in quality. The study aims to evaluate the …

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 …
