On Respiratory Rate of Cherry Tomatoes under Subcritical Heights

الملخص EN

The influence of subcritical drop heights on respiratory rate was studied for cherry tomatoes.

The cherry tomatoes were dropped, and the mean value of O2 concentration was measured, and then the respiration rate was calculated.

The results showed that the respiration rate of the cherry tomatoes increases remarkably with the dropping height.

Finally, the relationship between the subcritical dropping heights and respiration rate was modeled and validated, showing good agreement.
