Abstract
ABSTRACTCitrus fruits were crushed by a falling ball type impact crusher at low temperature and their juice sacs were separated into individual sacs. the effect of freezing temperature on the degree of separation was examined, using four kinds of citrus fruits, Unshu orange, sweet orange, grapefruit, and lemon. the results indicated that the degree of separation depended solely on temperature regardless of sample size, applied force, and fruit kind. No shattering occurred above ‐ 30°C. the degree of separation increased until below − 120°C, there was little further separation. the cause of no shattering at or above − 30°C was attributable to the mechanical property of juice.
