The fruit cuticle as a modulator of postharvest quality [PDF]
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2014 The composition and structure of the surface tissues have a noticeable influence on the postharvest storage potential of fruits, inasmuch as they behave as a barrier against drying, chemical attacks, mechanical injuries and microbial infections. Cuticle is made of cutin - a biological insoluble polyester - embedded in an impermeable wax complex, and ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...

On the quality of acoustical measures when evaluating fruits quality [PDF]
International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 2015 In this article we show that, without any technological modification, an acoustic firmness sensor used for estimating fruits firmness, can also be used in order to discriminate between different apple varieties. A repetability and reproducibility (R&R) analysis shows that the device is capable to measure not just the mass and the resonance ...
