Abstract
This paper reports on the variations in the parameters of the single dispersion Cole bio-impedance model of Daucus Carota Sativus (carrots) under heating and freezing conditions. Experiments are conducted on six samples with recorded live bio-impedance spectra versus temperature. The Cole model parameters are extracted from the measured data using the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Flower Pollination Algorithm</i> (FPA) optimization technique and their variations are correlated with well-known bio-chemical and bio-mechanical variations. This represents a non-invasive method for characterizing and measuring the degree of change in biological cellular morphology and composition.
Highlights
Assessment of the environmental effects on agricultural crops as well as the effects of food preservation methods, commonly employed in the food industry, are very important from economical and health perspectives
Several studies have investigated the changes in biological plant tissues, specially the alterations on the cellular level, due to temperature variations when freezing or heating is used such as the studies in [5]–[7] and [8]
Many experimentations showed that the bio-impedance attribute of plant cells is mainly affected by the cellular wall structure, cellular membrane and middle lamella [11] in addition to the concentration of water, cellulose and pectin
Summary
Assessment of the environmental effects on agricultural crops as well as the effects of food preservation methods, commonly employed in the food industry, are very important from economical and health perspectives. Many experimentations showed that the bio-impedance attribute of plant cells is mainly affected by the cellular wall structure, cellular membrane and middle lamella [11] in addition to the concentration of water, cellulose and pectin. The accuracy and effectiveness of a number of meta-heuristic optimization algorithms was tested in [25] targeting the problem of bioimpedance parameters extraction. It was concluded in [26].
