Abstract: Harvest operations are currently the main source of mechanical injury of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). Experiments were designed to simulate conditions encountered during commercial handling. Individual fruits were subjected to impact or compression forces with similar energy to determine the sensitivity to mechanical injury. Bruise volume was used as the measurement of injury. Bruise severity increased as a function of impact energy for both impact types. However, dropped fruits had larger bruise vo… Show more

“…The percentage of damage for each stage is shown in Figure 1 as a percent of overall damage. Ferreira et al (2008) mentioned the picking operation as the main source of mechanical damage. Also, based on observed results for In each row, means with different superscript letters show significant difference at 5 % probability level; SD -standard deviation Table 4 Results of analysis of variance for damage index of fruits in two strawberry varieties Total 65 ns , ** -not significant and significant at 1 % probability level, + Factors were illustrated in Table 1 Figure 1 Percent of damage to strawberry fruits during different stages of handling…”

“…This statement confirms the results found where fruits subjected to impact showed less bruise volume. Compression bruising occurs normally towards the direction of the force, commonly appearing as a line of cells whose walls have buckled and fractured which allows the cell contents to escape (Ferreira et al, 2008). …”

“…This indicates that in designing the end effectors for sorting lines, special consideration should be made in determining the force ranges, so that the damages due to impact to be minimal. Ferreira et al (2008) used drop test and impact test to consider the strawberry fruit resistance to simulated handling.…”
