Abstract

Post-harvest processes, such as transportation and packaging, should be carried out in such a way that less damage is made to the product. Inappropriate transport of fruits causes mechanical damage. Transport vibrations have a great effect on the extent of damage to agricultural products. In this research, the effects of road vibration on the mechanical properties of olive fruit, including fracture force, fracture energy and elasticity modulus were measured through pressure testing by the instrument before and after Vibration and results were checked. The effect of different parameters of vibrations caused by road transport (frequency, acceleration and time) on the mechanical properties of olive was investigated. Experiments were carried out at two levels of 7.5 Hz and 13 Hz, two acceleration levels of 0.3g and 0.7g and two levels of 30 and 60 minutes. The results of the data analysis showed that the effects of vibration frequency, vibration acceleration, vibration duration were significant on the amount of damage during vibration at the 1% level. The factors caused reduction in mechanical properties.
