This study investigated the effect of mechanical damage of different impact energies (0.074 J, 0.160 J, 0.273 J) generated by a pendulum impactor and evaluated the bruise intensity and quality changes of bananas after 12 days of storage at 5, 13, and 22 °C. The bruise area (BA) and bruise susceptibility (BS) in the banana fruit were significantly increased as impact damage increased. The results of weight loss % and electrolyte leakage (EL%) were highly dependent on all studied factors; in the order of storage temperature > storage days > impact level. Storage temperature and impact damage accelerated the incidence of transpiration rate (TRm) during storage. Regarding color measurements, the results of image processing emphasized that storage at 13 °C exhibited the ideal color change in bruised fruit, which revealed a slow increment in lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) until the last day of storage. The ethylene production rate (EPR) was recorded at its maximum peak on days 2 and 12 with values of 3.85 × 10−3 and 3.08 × 10−3 mg kg−1h−1 in banana fruit bruised by high-impact (0.273 J) and stored at 22 °C. Regardless of impact level, all size measurements reduction % including, surface area (As), geometric mean diameter (Dg), and fruit volume (Vf) of bruised bananas were higher at ambient storage conditions than those stored at 5 and 13 °C. The results of regression analysis can confirm the possibility of bruise susceptibility (BS) to estimate the quality changes of bruised fruit during storage. |
