| Abstract:
We present a predictive model of apple firmness. The model was developed using data from storage experiments with cv. Elstar apples. The model was validated using data from the cultivars Cox Orange Pippin and Royal Gala. After having shown that the model was valid also for these cultivars, the model has been tested on experiments simulating dynamic chain conditions. Good predictions for these experiments have been obtained. | |
