Transpiration and Respiration of Fruits and Vegetables Bryan R. Becker, , and Brian A. Fricke1 ABSTRACT Transpiration is the process by which fresh Fruits and Vegetables lose moisture. This process includes the transport of moisture through the skin of the commodity, the evaporation of this moisture from the commodity surface and the convective mass transport of the moisture to the surroundings. This paper discusses the pertinent factors which affect Transpiration and identifies mathematical models for predicting the rate of Transpiration .
Physical dimensions of the commodity, such as surface area, volume, and diameter, are measured and an air flow rate reading past the commodity is also taken. With this information, the air film mass transfer coefficient, k a , can be calculated using a …
