Title: Stone Fruit Critical Bruising Thresholds
Authors: C.H. Crisosto, D. Slaughter, D. Garner, and J. Boyd
Abstract:
The critical bruising thresholds varied among stone fruit cultivars. In general, plums tolerated more physical abuse than yellow flesh peach and nectarine cultivars. Impact location on the fruit was an important factor in the determination of critical bruising thresholds. Potential sources of bruising damage during fruit packing were located using an instrumental sphere (IS-100).
