Method for measuring the transpiration resistance of fruit and vegetables.

ABSTRACT: This investigation explores the intricate relationship between postharvest quality losses in fruit and vegetables and the dynamic interplay of transpiration and respiration activities. It underscores the profound impact of inherent produce properties and postharvest environmental conditions on transpiration, inducing changes in both external appearance and internal quality, notably wilting. Despite their common use, produce-specific transpiration coefficients encounter limitations due to diverse assumptions in calculations. Surface conditions intricately link produce and air properties, necessitating a comprehensive understanding. Horticultural products, with high water content, undergo continuous water loss through transpiration, driven by the water potential difference between the produc
