Bruising - impacts, why apples bruise, and what you can do to minimize bruising.

Methods of reducing impact severity in handling systems and the principles involved in conditioning fruits to reduce impact severity are described. Bruising can be reduced by decreasing the number and severity of impacts by adding cushioning, decreasing effective drop heights, eliminating unnecessary drops and very slightly dehydrating fruits to improve the bruise threshold. Results of trials with Red Delicious and Golden Delicious apple fruits are described where the bruise threshold was doubled by slightly dehydrating the fruits (control fruits had a weight loss since purchase, in October, of 1.9% compared with a weight loss since purchase of 4.1% in dehydrated fruits).
