Abstract
- Determination of fruit core temperature is crucial for fruit post-harvest management. However, there is still a lack of precise and real-time intelligent monitoring techniques of fruit core temperature for pre-cooling process and long-term storage. This study aims to establish a physical twin model capable of simulating kiwifruit core temperature. Firstly, we investigated the relationship between pre-cooling efficiency and six fruit characteristics of two kiwifruit cultivars. The results showed that fruit weight and fruit volume were the two main factors affecting the pre-cooling efficiency (R2 = 0.68 in average), and physiological factors such as firmness and soluble solid content had less important impacts. Secondly, we developed a physical twin model comprising special clay and special soil, which could precisely simulate the kiwifruit core temperature (R2 = ∼0.999). Finally, the model was successfully used for intelligent determination of kiwifruit core temperature in pre-cooling through real-time detection algorithm and wireless transmission. Taken together, the physical twin model for the determination of kiwifruit core temperature developed in this study is a useful tool for temperature monitoring during postharvest pre-cooling. • The pre-cooling performance of kiwifruit has been investigated. • A new recipe accurately simulates the core temperature in kiwifruit. • Wireless, real-time monitoring technology detects kiwifruit core temperature.
