Bruise damage measurement and analysis of fresh horticultural produce-A review
TL;DR: A wide range of indices based on mathematical expressions of the physical and mechanical properties of fruit, the bruised portion and the energy of the handling system causing the damage have been proposed and applied to quantify the intensity or potential to damage for different commodities and even for the same commodity as mentioned in this paper.

Quantitative evaluation of mechanical damage to fresh fruits
Zhiguo Li,Colin R. Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing quantitative assessments characterizing surface and internal mechanical damage and its prediction is presented. But the main challenge in evaluating mechanical damage to fresh fruit objectively is to develop a method to assess accurately the extent of internal damage to fruits caused by excessive external forces.

Determination of bruise susceptibility of pears (Ankara variety) to impact load by means of FEM-based explicit dynamics simulation
TL;DR: In this article, a reverse engineering approach, physical material tests and finite element method (FEM)-based explicit dynamics simulations were utilized to investigate impact deformation characteristics of the pears (Ankara variety) under various impact cases.

Bruise damage susceptibility of pomegranates (Punica granatum, L.) and impact on fruit physiological response during short term storage
TL;DR: Investigation of the susceptibility of three pomegranate fruit cultivars to drop impact bruising suggested that ‘Acco’ was the most sensitive cultivar to impact bruising followed by ‘Herskawitz’.

Evaluation of bruise resistance of pears to impact load
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of impact loads on the bruise resistance was analyzed by measuring the surface pressures at varying drop heights and a specified number of impacts, where the Tekscan system was applied to determine force impulse values and contact plane areas, which enabled the calculation of surface pressure distribution.

Bruising and energy dissipation in apples
J.E. Holt,D. Schoorl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a strong correlation was obtained between bruise volume and energy absorbed for both impact and slow compression of Granny Smith apples, and it was shown that energy absorbed during compression is a good predictor of bruising and is a useful parameter in evaluating handling and packing systems.

Impact Parameters Related to Post Harvest Bruising of Apples
G. H. Brusewitz,J. A. Bartsch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, five varieties of apples were dropped from 5 to 25 cm onto a piezoelectric impact force transducer and measured impact parameters were related to bruise volume during 250 days of refrigerated and CA storage.

Fracture in potatoes and apples
J.E. Holt,D. Schoorl +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized fracture mechanics were applied to whole potatoes and apples under slow and fast compression and the energy dissipative mechanisms were defined in terms of the hysteresis ratio, the elastic recovery ratio, and the fracture toughness.

Mechanical properties and texture of stored apples
J.E. Holt,D. Schoorl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Granny Smith, Delicious and Jonathan apples were placed in cool store immediately after harvest and were tested for ultimate tensile strength, fracture resistance and hysteresis of tensile specimens, and bruise resistance of whole apples under slow and impact compression over a period of 18 weeks.
