Abstract

The transportation of fruits over longer distances could lead to damage fruits such as apricots. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of transportation factors including the vibration frequencies (17 and 20 Hz), the vibration time (15 and 30 minutes), the fruit cultivar (Shahroudi and Urdoobad), and the package type (2 types) on the apricot damage. An electro-dynamic lab vibration simulator was used to simulate the road transportation and a fruit damage index (FDI) was used as a criterion to evaluate the damage based on the classifying bruises into five different categories. The statistical analysis indicated that, except for the package type, the other factors (apricot cultivar, frequency, and vibration duration) had a significant effect on the FDI (P < 0.01). The vibration damages considerably changed by the apricot cultivar and increased by the frequency and duration. The results indicated that the Urdoobad cultivar was more resistant to the damage and could be used for export purposes to transport in distances more than 1,000 km. The maximum damages occurred at a frequency and duration of 17 Hz and 30 min in the Shahroudi cultivar, respectively.

鲜杏在模拟运输过程中的振动损伤评价

长距离运输水果可能会损坏杏子等水果。本研究评估了振动频率（17和20 Hz）、振动时间（15和30分钟）、果实品种（Shahroudi和Urdoobad）和包装类型（2种类型）等运输因素对杏损伤的影响。在将损伤分为五类的基础上，使用电动实验室振动模拟器模拟道路运输，并以水果损伤指数（FDI）作为评估损伤的标准。统计分析表明，除包装类型外，其他因素（杏品种、频率和振动持续时间）对FDI有显著影响（P<0.01）。结果表明，Urdoobad品种对病害具有更强的抗性，可用于出口运输，距离超过1000公里。Shahroudi品种的最大病害发生频率和持续时间分别为17赫兹和30分钟。
