In Taiwan, mango is one of the most popular and widely grown fruit crops. The mangos are transported by trucks from Tainan county to Taipei city in a distance of about 330 km. Improper package and transportation will cause physical damages of mangos due to bruising and abrasion during transportation. The damage caused by physical injury will result in an accelerated deterioration in fruit quality. Therefore, our research will focus on the mango's packaging method and transportation quality. In this study a new monitoring system that used a three-axial accelerometer and a vibration recorder to measure the whole vibration situation on a truck was developed. The accelerometer was installed in a corrugated fiberboard box which is filled with mangos. Different cushion materials were used in the corrugated fiberboard box among mangos. The selected cushion materials were shredded newspapers, net wraps, foam rubber pads, small styrofoams and styrofoam trays. The acceleration values from different test sets during transportation were acquired. The damage level of mangos could then be evaluated according to these acceleration values. The results showed that the overall mean acceleration value obtained by a combination of net wraps, small styrofoams and styrofoam tray as a cushion method in a corrugated fiberboard box among mangos was 6.41 m/s2 which was the lowest value in the whole test sets. Compared with the traditional packaging method this kind of packaging can reduce the damage of mangos during transportation significantly. |
