The relation between biophysical properties of the skin of horticultural products and the rate of moisture loss under different ambient conditions is explained by a mathematical model. The numerical values of these properties can be determined by a simple experimental method. The effect of different air velocities on the loss of moisture from the products during cooling down is derived mathematically. The theory has been proved by experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
