concern facing food security and sustainability. Postharvest losses can occur along the …

This review was initiated to realise the state-of-the art in optimising the ventilation and
structural requirements of corrugated packaging carton design. Researchers have been …

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 …

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 …

Near-infrared spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging technologies have been proved to
be able to detect invisible bruised kiwifruit. Therefore, it is doubted that the optical properties …

Abstract Visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectral imaging holds great promise for the
automatic detection of fruit defects. However, uneven brightness resulting from fruit geometry …

Actinobacteria are ubiquitous Gram-positive filamentous bacteria that are well-known for
their ability to control plant diseases through mechanisms such as the production of …

Natural rubber (NR) and rice starch (RS) biocomposite-based packing foam sheets were
successfully prepared by the Dunlop method, with activated carbon (AC) as a filler to …

Fruits, essential in human nutrition, go through many stages until they reach the
consumption stage. Brıise may occur on the fruit during loading, unloading, and processing …
