Mechanical properties and bruise susceptibility of tomatoes related to impact direction and drop-height

The study evaluated the mechanical properties and bruise susceptibility of tomatoes (Enda F1 cultivar). Compression tests were carried out at 1 mm min -1 load velocity to determine mechanical properties (deformation, bioyield point force, deformation energy and Poisson's ratio). Impact tests we...
