Stress-strain relationship for fruit firmness estimation.

Summary

Since many quality factors are related to physical properties of the products, it is often possible to develop methods for quality evaluation and techniques that are based on the measurement of the mechanical properties of fruit. The most important mechanical factors related to fruit firmness were determined for 4 apple cultivars. The application of simple devices designed for estimating slight changes in fruit firmness during storage is presented.
