Abstract
Padding materials are commonly used in fruit packing lines with the objective of diminishing impact damage inpostharvest handling. Two sensors (IS 100 instrumented sphere and UCLPF impact tester) were compared to analyze theperformance of six different padding materials used in Spanish fruit packing lines. Padding materials tested were classifiedaccording to their capability to decrease impact intensities inflicted on fruit in packing lines. A statistical procedure to testpadding materials was tested for Golden Delicious apples. Its basis is a multiple logistic regression to predict bruiseprobability in fruit. The model combines two groups of parameters: padding material parameters measured with the IS, andfruit properties.
