Recurrent foodborne outbreaks associated with low-moisture foods prompted this study to evaluate apple-handling practices presented in apple-drying recipes available to United States consumers, and to explore the food safety implications of the recip...
The increasing waste of agricultural products is a significant threat to food security worldwide, including Iran. The horticultural sector faces a critical challenge with significant fruit waste, particularly apples, occurring at various supply chain...
In this study, a deep learning-based system for apple defect detection and quality grading was developed, integrating various advanced image-processing technologies and machine learning algorithms to enhance the automation and accuracy of apple quali...
Comprehensive understanding of bruise damage caused by apple-to-apple impacts is beneficial to design a low-impact fruit capturing mechanism for mass (shake-and-catch) harvesting, as well as to design other fruit handling devices. This study quantifi...
This research presents a cross-platform application, developed with Flutter, for the efficient integration and management of real-time data from wearable sensors including Apple Watch, Android Wear, and Empatica E4. Compatible with iOS and Android, t...
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, technical solutions (e.g., smartphone apps, web-based platforms, digital surveillance platforms, etc.) have played a vital role in constraining the spread of COVID-19. The major aspects in which technical solutions...
Quality and mechanical resilience are crucial for reducing losses in fruit production and for supporting food chains. Indeed, integrating empirical data with rheological models bridges gaps in fruit processing equipment design. Therefore, the objecti...
Outbreaks of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) in meat processing plants and media reports of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection on foods have raised concerns of a public health risk from contaminated...
