CONTEXT Mobile water within the bone marrow is a physiological phenomenon that is identifiable on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and signal changes can result from blood pooling, reactive hyperemia, edema, and microfracture. When these MR lesions are associated with an acute traumatic event, the findings are referred to as bone bruises and so represent a unique manifestation of injury. This r...

ABSTRACT- Bruising degrades the quality of fresh apple fruits. Reducing bruise damage is of utmost importance in designing and developing processing equipments. The main objective of the present study was to introduce an analytical method to predict the allowable static load applicable to apple fruits. To predict the strain energy absorbed by the fruit, a point load was applied on the solid sph...

Abstract Fresh fruits like bananas are very susceptible to mechanical damage during postharvest handling which can result in a substantial decline quality. The study aims evaluate the effect of bruise and storage temperatures on quality banana after 48 h storage. Each ‘Grand Naine’ fruit was impacted once by using drop impact test three different heights (10, 30, 50 cm) (13 22 °C) Different ana...

Introduction: Bruising is a type of mechanical damage that challenges fresh horticulture production efforts, which occurs mainly due to excessive compression and impact forces during postharvest operations resulting in quality deterioration produce reduction economic value. Objective: This study aims assess the bruise susceptibility imported pears determine its effect on pear attributes. Materi...

The operation of four – channel microprocessor controlled recorder to be used in combination with ENDEVCO piezoelectric force and acceleration sensors has been described in the present study. The purpose of the equipment is to record the data obtained in the course of bruise testing for fruit and vegetables with high water content. The data from four sensors are recorded with 12 bits resolution...
