Popis: Trimming for postharvest cabbage is useful to increase its economic value added. For obtaining the optimal root-cutting parameters, a root-cutting test platform based on universal testing machine was designed. Then shear contrast test and orthogonal test were carried out respectively, and shear properties were explained according to root morphology obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the effect of sliding-cutting with single-edged cutter was the best. The optimal parameters of cutter thickness, shear position, shear speed and sliding-cutting angle were respectively 0.89 mm, 0.00 mm, 388.94 mm/min and 34.84°, and the shear stress was 28.02 kPa.
