X-ray computed tomography (CT) was employed to measure pixel based average CT values in terms of gray scale (GS) value. The ethylene production rate and weight loss were minimal, whereas firmness, apparent density and soluble solid content were higher in 1-MCP treated fruits. The histogram profile was almost same during the storage period in 1-MCP treated fruit. The difference of internal structure between 1-MCP and control fruits could be identified by CT image. The standard deviation (GS) and low density pixel volume were negatively, whereas average CT value(GS) and peak height were positively correlated with the bio-yield stress and apparent density. X-ray CT images could thus be used for quality evaluation and 1-MCP significantly delayed the ripening of Japanese apricots, maintaining the harvesting internal structure for seven days..

Tanaka, F., Nashiro, K., Obatake, W., Tanaka, F., Uchino, T., Observation and analysis of internal structure of cucumber fruit during storage using X-ray computed tomography, Engineering in Agriculture, Environment and Food, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eaef.2017.12.004, 11, 2, 51-56, 2018.04, In this study, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used as a non-destructive technique to characterize and quantify the internal structure of cucumber fruit during storage. The physical properties of cucumber fruit were also measured destructively and related to X-ray absorptivity, and also changes in three-dimensional heterogeneous internal structure were visualized during storage at 15 °C and 25 °C and 90% RH for 7 days. As a result, the average gray scale (GS) value calculated from X-ray CT scanned tissue images indicated good correlations with the density, porosity, and elastic modulus of cucumber fruit. The peak height of the GS value related to the density and porosity. Standard deviation of the GS value was also related to the moisture content of the fruit. These results indicated that X-ray CT can be used to estimate physical properties related fruit quality. It was also revealed that the radiodensity of cucumber fruit changed in the mesocarp tissue but not change in the placenta tissue. GS level in the mesocarp tissue changed from white to dark from the fruit pedicel towards the apex at 25 °C. This result is useful to understand the expansion of low density part in fruit during storage..

The relationship between the porosity and mean CT value for small tissue samples having a volume of 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm was investigated. The three-dimensional microstructure of the issue was reconstructed using image processing software and heat transfer simulation was carried out based on the real structure model. The effective thermal conductivity of the tissue was determined by comparing the results of the three-dimensional (3D) model simulation with those of the homogeneous model simulation and was related to the porosity of the sample. The Brailsford model was selected as the most suitable model to predict the effective thermal conductivity of the tissue. The porosity, thermal conductivity and moisture distributions were visualized for an intact fruit based on analysis of high-resolution X-ray image..

, LWT - Food Science and Technology, accepted, 2017.08, Low-temperature blanching (LTB) is a very attractive method for preserving the texture of fresh vegetables; however, the molecular basis of this treatment remains to be elucidated. The mechanism of textural change in carrots by LTB was investigated. Carrot samples were treated using three kinds of blanching: high-temperature blanching (HTB), LTB, and LTB followed by HTB. Fresh and treated samples were evaluated conventionally for firmness, galacturonic acid content, and the activity of pectin methylesterase. In addition, Raman microscopy was also used to describe the pectin distributions in the samples. However, the Raman maps did not show obvious differences among the samples, but they coincided with the results of galacturonic acid content. Furthermore, the nanostructures of water-soluble pectin (WSP), chelator-soluble pectin (CSP), and diluted alkali-soluble pectin (DASP) fractions were observed by atomic force microscopy. The median length of CSP molecules was shortened from 44.76 nm to 12.57 nm by HTB. On the other hand, LTB induced elongation of CSP molecules (median length: 58.12 nm) and maintaining ability of DASP to form a regular network on mica..
9. Imaizumi, T., Tanaka, F., Uchino, T., Numerical modeling of peroxidase inactivation in potato tubers, Transaction of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), doi: 10.13031/trans.11955, 60, 2, 545-550, 2017.03, The properties of peroxidase (POD) inactivation in potato during hot water heating were studied. In the conventional method, the vegetable sample is heated at a constant temperature, and the POD inactivation rate at each temperature is obtained. The activation energy and frequency factor are then calculated from Arrhenius plots of the inactivation rates. Although only the temperature of the hot water is used in the calculation, the actual potato sample temperature is not considered. In this study, unequal temperature distributions in a potato cylinder during hot water heating were simulated by a finite element method using COMSOL Multiphysics. In this simulation, thermal conductivity of the potato tuber was determined to fit best with the measured temperature as λ = (-3.1 x 10-5)T2 + (1.8 x 10-2)T - 1.9. Additionally, POD inactivation was predicted based on the simulated temperature distribution. The activation energy and frequency factor were then determined as 29.2 kJ mol-1 and 2.0 x 102 s-1 to minimize the root mean square error between predicted and measured POD activities. The adequacy of these parameters was confirmed using a validation test with a potato cylinder of a different size. It was concluded that finite element method simulation was valid for determining the POD inactivation property..

Tanaka, F., Nashiro, K., Trivittayasil, V., Uchino, T., Simulation of UV-C Dose Distribution and Inactivation of Mold Spore on Strawberries in a Conveyor System, Food Science Technology Research, http://doi.org/10.3136/fstr.22.461, 22, 4, 461-466, 2016.09, In order to examine microbial decontamination by UV-C treatment of strawberries on a continuously moving conveyor, we developed a three-dimensional irradiation model based on a discrete ordinates (DO) method to evaluate UV-C dose distribution on strawberries. The sliding mesh method was employed to describe the motion of strawberries placed on a UV-C-transparent film tray on a conveyor through a UV-C treatment system. We also estimated total UV-C radiation dose distribution on the surface of strawberries for four different configurations. The models with four lamps installed in parallel to the direction of movement provided uniform dose distribution. The time required for three-log inactivation of Penicillium digitatum on the surface of strawberries was also calculated. For the optimal model (Model D), 131 s was required for three-log inactivation of P. digitatum. The proposed radiation model was shown to be a useful tool for the optimization of UV-C treatment for strawberry..

Simulation of UV-C radiation treatment was investigated in this study to find the optimal treatment condition. The setup of strawberries being placed on a UV-transmittable film with radiation sources from the top and bottom was proposed. The 4-lamp model with the horizontal distance of 300 mm between the lamps was found to yield the most uniform dose distribution with mean radiation intensity of 2.00 W m-2. For this configuration, the treatment time required to achieve one log inactivation of for Cladosporium cladosporioides and Penicillium digitatum were 3 min 46 s and 1 min 36 s, respectively. Radiation simulation in combination with the inactivation model has shown to be a useful tool for the optimization of the UV-C inactivation process..

In this study a transient three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was applied to investigate the temperature distribution in two cold stores, whose humidity were supplied by nanomist and ultrasonic humidifiers. In order to validate with predicted data, the actual temperature and air velocities were measured inside the containers. The model was successfully validated by means of air velocity with error of 0.09 m s−1 and temperature with mean errors of 0.66 K for nanomist and 0.95 K for ultrasonic, respectively. The findings of this research can help to prove the capability of using CFD to predict the temperature distribution of refrigerated rooms..

Tanaka, F., Tanaka, F., Tanaka, A., Uchino, T., Mathematical Modeling of Thin-layer Drying According to Particle Size Distribution in Crushed Feed Rice, Biosystems Engineering, 136, 56-62, 2015.09, A thin-layer drying model taking into account the particle size distribution of crushed feed rice was developed to simulate moisture content during high-temperature drying. The model was based on the Page equation, which was regarded as a suitable empirical equation to describe the thin-layer drying of rice. The proposed model, with an assumed a Rosin-Rammler distribution, successfully predicted the mean moisture content of rice during drying experiments with a mean error of 0.5 % dry basis at 60, 70, and 80 °C. In order to investigate the effect of particle size distribution of rice on the drying process, a stochastic model based on Monte Carlo simulations was developed. The model developed here could provide useful information on the drying behaviour of rice particles, individually and collectively, in a thin layer bed. It was clear that uniform drying could be achieved by increasing the drying temperature..

Since optimization of the drying process reduces cost, we also investigated the conditions for improving the efficiency of rice drying. Rice samples were dried at 40–80 °C with 10%RH. The results showed that 1) the time required for drying crushed rice was shorter than for rough and brown rice, 2) the Page equation was a suitable model to explain the drying characteristics of crushed rice, 3) the drying constant of crushed rice showed the highest value and had Arrhenius-type temperature dependence, 4) the optimum drying temperature of crushed rice was 80 °C..

In the present study some of the physical and gas transport properties of this cultivar have been measured or estimated from a mathematical model written with COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a, using the exact 3D geometry of the pear obtained with NextEngine 3D laser scanner. The experiments were done at 5, 15 and 25°C. The model was validated by conducting experiments to measure the internal concentration at different points of the fruit and comparing them with the model results. The model was shown to be successful in predicting the internal gas concentrations. Gas diffusivity of ‘Oushuu’ at 5°C was found to be 5.97 × 10−7 m2/s and its skin resistance to be 4.04 × 105 s/m. However the results at higher temperatures seem to be less accurate. As a result, a co-diffusion model was used to estimate the gas diffusivity and skin resistance of ‘Oushuu’ at higher temperatures..

Some of the thermal properties of three cultivars of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) were measured, boundary conditions were defined and heat transfer modeling was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a software based on finite element method. Thermal conductivity of each examined cultivar was estimated from the model and found to be 0.660.01, 0.560.09 and 0.580.06 W/m・K for Kosui, Niitaka and Oushu, respectively, which are acceptable comparing with other fruits. Thermal diffusivity of the cultivars were also calculated and were in range of 1.3710-7 to 1.7610-7 m2/s. Low RMSE values of the model results compared to experimental data was observed. The model was validated with data obtained from a thermal camera and results showed the model is successful in predicting the temperature profile inside the fruit at any time..
