“…Similarly, the bulk density, true density and porosity were calculated from the mean of three measured values 628.8, 929.61 kg m −3 and 32.35% respectively for mango sample. A similar type of results were also obtained for tomato by Kaymak et al [30] and for a mango by Ehiem and Simonyan [31].…”

In the present study modified atmospheric (MA) packages, having package size of 19 × 19 cm 2 for a fill weight of 500 ± 100 g were developed for the experimental purpose. The storage study of MA packages was performed at 10 ± 1, 18 ± 1 and 27 ± 1 °C temperatures, considering low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging film with 0.1, 0.05, 0.025 and 0.0125% perforations. The performance of film packages was evaluated for their ability to establish equilibrium condition at target levels and to extend the shelf life of the packaged fruit and vegetable. It was observed that ratio of the respiration rate of O 2 and CO 2 prominently depends upon the perforation rate and variations in storage temperature. The LDPE packages having 0.0125% perforations have maintained the respiration rate the most in both the cases of O 2 and CO 2 up to 90 h at 0.89 ml kg −1 at a refrigerated temperature of 10 °C. The results showed that LDPE film with 0.0125% perforation was found best suitable for packaging both tomato and mango.

Physical properties of three varieties of mango were studied at 13.75% and 8.74% moisture content levels. Some selected properties such as geometric mean, arithmetic mean, angle of repose, sphericity and crushing force were determined. The average tri-axial dimensions of the seeds gave 38.00 ± 6.8, 42.23 ± 4.12, 33.95 ± 6.91 as average major diameter; 35.60 ± 5.68, 39.18 ± 3.95, 31.44 ± 7.56 as average intermediate diameter and 24.76 ± 5.2, 28.42 ± 5.59, 23.08 ± 3.67 as average minor diameter for Kerosene, Sheri and Sugar mango respectively. The average sphericity of the three varieties of mango seed was 0.74, 0.77 and 0.67 while that of the angle of repose was 40.430, 08.030 and 09.760 for Kerosene, Sheri and Sugar mango respectively. The average crushing force determined using the universal testing machine gave 21.00 N, 10.58 N and 9.46 N for Kerosene, Sheri and Sugar mango respectively. Statistical analysis shows that there is a significant difference in the geometric mean between Kerosene mango and Sheri mango and no significant difference between Sheri mango and Sugar mango, while the average value of the calculated arithmetic mean was found to be statistically different within the three varieties but no significant difference in sphericity. Kerosene mango has the highest value for the angle of repose and crushing force.

This research examines the physical properties of African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) fruits and seeds. The dimensions were measured with vernier calliper and the dimensional properties were computed using appropriate equations. The densities, porosity, angle of repose and coefficient of friction on three material surfaces were determined with standard methods from literature. The result of the study showed that the average major, intermediate and minor dimensions were 47.95 mm, 43.70 mm and 41.35 mm respectively for the fruits, and 26.05 mm, 15.12 mm and 6.07 mm respectively for the seeds. The volume, shape index and one thousand weight of fruits were obtained as 40.61 mm3 , 0.95 and 48.34 kg respectively whereas those of the seeds were obtained as 1.69 mm3 , 0.95 and 1.28 kg respectively. The true density, bulk density and porosity of the fruits were found to be 1710 kg/m3 , 1550 kg/m3 and 52.63 percent respectively, while that of the seeds were found to be 950 kg/m3 , 570 kg/m3 and 40.25 percent respectively. The sphericity obtained for the fruits and seeds were 0.94 and 0.55, respectively. Angle of repose was found to be 3.02o and 13.50o for the fruits and seeds, respectively. Coefficients of friction on plywood, mild steel and galvanized steel were 0.30, 0.24 and 0.20 respectively, for the fruits and 0.52, 0.46 and 0.39 respectively for the seeds. The empirical data from this study will aid researchers in the design and development of postharvest systems for the African star apple fruits and seeds postharvest operations.
