Special issue: Data analytics and artificial intelligence in postharvest biology and technology KU Leuven
Automatic 3D cell segmentation of fruit parenchyma tissue from X-ray micro CT images using deep learning KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: High quality 3D information of the microscopic plant tissue morphology-the spatial organization of cells and intercellular spaces in tissues-helps in understanding physiological processes in a wide variety of plants and tissues. X-ray micro-CT is a valuable tool that is becoming increasingly available in plant research to obtain 3D microstructural information of the intercellular pore space and individual pore sizes and shapes of ...
Mechanical damages and packaging methods along the fresh fruit supply chain: A review KU Leuven
Mechanical damage of fresh fruit occurs throughout the postharvest supply chain leading to poor consumer acceptance and marketability. In this review, the mechanisms of damage development are discussed first. Mathematical modeling provides advanced ways to describe and predict the deformation of fruit with arbitrary geometry, which is important to understand their mechanical responses to external forces. Also, the effects of damage at the ...
Spatio-temporal dynamics of the metabolome of climacteric fruit during ripening and post-harvest storage KU Leuven
Fruit quality traits are determined to a large extent by their metabolome. The metabolite content of climacteric fruit changes drastically during ripening and post-harvest storage, and has been investigated extensively. However, the spatial distribution of metabolites and how it changes in time has received much less attention as fruit are usually considered as homogenous plant organs. Yet, spatio-temporal changes of starch, which is hydrolyzed ...
