resistance to airflow and cooling patterns through multi scale packaging of table grapes
International Journal of Refrigeration-revue Internationale Du Froid, 2012Co-Authors: Mduduzi E K Ngcobo, Mulugeta Admasu Delele, Umezuruike Linus Opara, Cobus J Zietsman, Chris J MeyerAbstract:Postharvest handling of table grape is commonly carried out using multi-scale packages comprised of the main container, inner Liner film and pouches holding individual bunch of berries. Total pressure drop through different table grapes packages systems were measured and the percentage contributions of each package component and the fruit bulk were determined. The Liner films contributed significantly to total pressure drop for all package combinations, ranging from 40.33 ± 1.15% for micro-Perforated Liner film to 83.34 ± 2.13% for non-Perforated Liner film. The total pressure drop through the grape bulk (1.40 ± 0.01% to 9.41 ± 1.23%) was the least compared to the different packaging combinations with different levels of Liner perforation.

moisture diffusivity of table grape stems during low temperature storage conditions
Biosystems Engineering, 2013Co-Authors: Mduduzi E K Ngcobo, Pankaj B Pathare, Mulugeta Admasu Delele, Lan Chen, Umezuruike Linus OparaAbstract:Moisture diffusivity of grape stems was studied under cold airflow storage conditions (1.21 ± 0.25 °C and 1.18 ± 0.23 ms−1) during postharvest storage. The stems were stored without packaging Liner films or with packaging Liners (packed in non-Perforated Liner films) under low temperature conditions inside cold room. Effective moisture diffusivity values for stem parts packed in non-Perforated Liner films were lower than the values obtained for stem parts stored without packaging Liners, and varied from 5.06 × 10−14–1.05 × 10−13 m2 s−1. Dehydration rate of stem parts directly exposed (without Liners) to circulating cold air was significantly (P
