Pomegranate fruit quality is adversely affected by bruise damage. Bruises are formed a variety of static loads and dynamic impacts on the when it strikes any other object during handling, sorting, packaging, or transportation. In order to be able reduce this damage, necessary ascertain influence properties susceptibility. An experimental study was performed with varying storage time, temperature, impact region. these experiments, pomegranates were dropped from three heights onto flat...
Olive has a notable importance in countries of Mediterranean basin and its profitability depends on several factors such as actual yield, production cost or product price. Actual "on year" Yield (AY) is (kg tree-1) years", this research attempts to relate it with geometrical parameters the tree canopy. Regression equation forecast AY based manual canopy volume was determined data acquired from different orchard categories cultivars during harvesting seasons southern Spain. Orthoimages were...
The high sensitivity of table olives to mechanical damage limits harvesting with trunk shakers. objective this study was the identification, evaluation and temporal evolution assessment sources caused fruits. To do this, digital image analysis used for determination produced olives. Harvesting tests were performed in an intensive olive orchard trees ‘Manzanilla’ variety Seville, Spain. Mechanical shakers subsequent detachment fruits ground a level bruise 12 times greater than levels obtained...
The fruit harvesting is a key factor involving both product quality and profitability. Particularly, mechanical of traditional oil olive orchards hint by tree training system for manual harvesting, size several slanted trunks which makes difficult trunk shaker work. Therefore, canopy technology could be feasible alternative to develop an integral harvester able work on irregular canopies. aim this research was determine vibration parameters applied the efficient measuring removal efficiency...
Olive fruit production and oil quality distribution with respect to canopy are important criteria for selection improvement of mechanical harvesting methods. Tests were performed in a high-density olive orchard (Olea europea L., cv. Arbequina) southern Spain. Fruit distribution, properties parameters measured by taken separate samples each location tree. Results showed high percentage fruits located the middle-outer upper canopy, representing more than 60% total production. The position...
The aim of this study was to evaluate, quantify and model the survival Salmonella in fresh-cut lettuce during washings with chlorinated water at different free chlorine concentrations (FCC, 0–150 mg/L). Individual samples (4 cm2) were inoculated a culture (ca. 4 log CFU/cm2) washed 100-mL solutions FCC for times (0–150 s). surviving cells recovered from enumerated by plate count methodology. A fast decay on counts marked first 20 s washing, followed slowing down reductions. maximum 2.6...
Residue chopping from orchard pruning is becoming a common practice in conservation agriculture after the establishment of eco-conditionality policies European Union. This type residue used to protect soil erosion and improve water balance fertility soils by improving organic matter content. However, no studies have evaluated influence residues size on coverage. study examines effect different treatments coverage an olive (cv. Picual). Treatments consisted two quantities residues,...
The impact of a coating solution containing chitosan, lignocellulosic nanofibers (LCNF), and raspberry leaf extract on strawberry quality was assessed. Strawberries were coated, inoculated with Aspergillus flavus (a major aflatoxin producer), stored at 5 ± 1 °C for 16 days. An automated fruit evaluation system developed, daily images taken analysis. ImageJ software used to evaluate colour, size loss, fungal damage. Coating significantly reduced coated strawberries showing 18.4 12.8% loss...
