在实验室条件下进行了模拟运输研究，以评估当前传统篮子（用于番茄果实处理的唯一包装容器）和系统中目前未使用的塑料容器的性能。根据 ASTM D4169-08 国际标准，保证级别 II，使用开发的振动台对这些容器中的包装水果施加振动和冲击。结果显示，传统篮子顶部、中部和底部的番茄果实样品在激发4小时后分别有40%、37.50%和45%严重碰伤。对于塑料容器，从容器顶部、中部和底部采集的样品的相应值分别为44.18%、30.23%和18.60%。传统篮子包装的损伤样品平均碰伤宽度为24.36毫米，平均长度为36.67毫米。在塑料容器的情况下，平均擦伤宽度为15.18毫米，长度为26.97毫米。方差分析显示，两种包装容器之间的瘀伤面积平均值存在显着差异 (p ≤ 0.05)。这些新鲜农产品的处理者目前不使用的塑料容器在减少冲击和振动造成的机械损坏方面比尼日利亚仅用于运输新鲜番茄水果的传统篮子表现更好。关键词：运输、破损、包装容器、新鲜番茄
A simulated transport study under laboratory conditions was conducted to assess the performances of the current traditional basket which is the sole packaging container for tomato fruit handling and a plastic container which is currently not in use in the system. A developed vibrating table was used to excite vibrations and impact on the packaged fruits in these containers according to the ASTM D4169-08 International Standard, Assurance Level II. The results showed that 40%, 37.50% and 45% of the samples of tomato fruits from the top, middle and bottom of the traditional basket respectively were severely bruised after four hours of excitation. In the case of the plastic container, the corresponding values were 44.18%, 30.23% and 18.60% for the samples taken from the top, middle and bottom of the container , respectively . The average bruise width of the damage samples packaged in the traditional basket was 24.36 mm while the average length was 36.67 mm. In the case of the plastic container, the average bruise width was 15.18 mm and that of the length was 26.97 mm. The ANOVA shows that these mean values of bruise areas differed significantly ( p ≤ 0.05) between the two packaging containers. The plastic container which is currently not used by the handlers of these fresh produce performed better in reducing mechanical damage resulting from impact and vibration than the traditional basket solely used in the transportation of fresh tomato fruits in Nigeria.
