Microstructural Characteristics of Punica granatum Fruit at Dynamic Temperature inside the Fibre Insulation Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Differentiation in microstructural characteristics of Punica granatum fruit in response to different dynamic temperatures (2 oC, 4 oC, 6 oC, and 8 oC) during cold storage inside the fibre insulation materials was investigated. The results from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements showed that the polyester fibre exhibited an advantage and the radiation heat transfer was analyzed in the area of far-infrared. By evidence, the examination by scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that effect of dynamic temperature on Punica granatum fruits was structurally different. The fruits stored at higher temperature (6 oC and 8 oC) were associated with fractured cell walls and collapse of cells.
