Effect of vibration on packaged fresh fruit and vegetable quality during long distance refrigerated transportation.

Effecto de la vibración sobre la calidad de las frutas y verduras envasadas, en el curso del transporte frigorífico a larga.

Summary

Spanish translation of an article presented at an IIR meeting in Brest, France, September 1994 (see IIR Bulletin 96-1, ref. 96-0230). In long distance tests of refrigerated trailers with steel-spring suspensions and loaded with tomatoes, table grapes and strawberries, high power spectral density levels for acceleration were found at 3 to 4 hertz, with other lower peaks at 9, 16-18, and 25 hertz, and levels were also lower at most other frequencies. A package that has a wide transmissibility band width at resonance is more likely to result in damaged product than a package with a narrow band width, particularly if the narrow band is where the input vibration level from the transit system is low.
