Mass modelling of plum (Prunus domestica L.) fruit with some physical characteristics

Abstract

Horticultural crops with similar weight and uniform shape are in high demand in terms of marketing value in the food sector. The knowledge on existing relationship between the mass, length, width, thickness, volume and projected areas of fruits is useful for proper design of grading machines. A part of this research was aimed to present some physical properties of plum fruit. In addition, in this study the mass of plum fruit was predicted using different physical characteristics in four models, including linear, quadratic, S-curve and power. According to the results, all properties considered in the current study were found to be statistically significant at the 1% probability level. The best and the worst models for predicting the mass of plum fruit were based on geometric mean diameter and length of the plum with determination coefficients of 0.803 and 0.125, respectively. At last, mass model of plum fruit based on first projected area from an economical standpoint is recommended.

“…Other researchers determined the mass modeling of different fruits; orang (Shahbazi and Rahmati, 2013a), apple (Saikumar et al, 2023;Chakespari et al, 2010;Tabatabaeefar and Rajabipour, 2005), lemon (Baradaran et al, 2014), mango (Schulze et al, 2015;Spreer and Müller, 2011), cantaloupe (Seyedabadi et al, 2011), kiwi (Rashidi and Seyfi, 2008;Lorestani andTabatabaeefar, 2006), apricot (Naderi et al, 2008), banana (Kamble et al, 2021), persimmon (Shahbazi and Rahmati, 2014), guava (Bibwe et al, 2022), cherry (Shahbazi and Rahmati, 2013b) and fig (Shahbazi and Rahmati, 2013c) .…”

Model Matematis Massa Buah Markisa Manis (Passiflora ligularis Juss) Berbasis Beberapa Sifat Fisik

“…Penelitian mengenai hubungan dan model matematis massa dengan sifat fisik buah lainnya sudah merupakan hal yang umum. Beberapa penelitian terdahulu telah membuat model matematis dari massa berbagai jenis buah seperti kurma [8], tin [6], plum [9], pisang [7], dan kawista [10]. Hanya saja, penelitian serupa untuk buah markisa masih sangat jarang dilakukan.…”

“…Hal yang sama juga terjadi pada sifat fisik yang lain. Fenomena yang hampir sama juga ditemukan oleh penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya saat memodelkan massa buah plum dan kawista berdasarkan sifat fisiknya[9],[10]. Mereka menemukan bahwa model kuadratik memiliki nilai R 2 yang lebih besar pada sebagian besar sifat fisik.…”
