INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT STORAGE CONDITIONS ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE MATURITY OF NECTARINES |
| Authors: | E. Verstreken, J. De Baerdemaeker |
| Abstract:
The ripening of nectarines was monitored during storage under different conditions of temperature and relative humidity. Weight loss and firmness changes were measured to characterise the ripening of a fruit. The firmness was measured non-destructively with the acoustic impulse response technique. The test was evaluated for nectarines by comparison with a destructive quasi-static parallel plate compression test on fruit specimens. A model to predict the weight loss by temperature and relative humidity conditions during storage was derived. | |
