Implication

Experimental study demonstrates strong correlations between weight loss, texture, and color in Shine Muscat grapes, highlighting simple mass tracking for non-destructive quality monitoring.

Key Points

To determine changes in weight loss, mechanical characteristics, and color of Shine Muscat grapes during storage and evaluate relationships among these physical quality attributes.
Conducted postharvest storage tests at 15°C under two relative humidity (RH) conditions: 95% and 40%.
Measured fruit mass changes, compression-derived mechanical parameters (breaking stress, breaking strain, elasticity), and L*a*b* color parameters (color difference ΔE and chroma C).
Fruit weight loss correlated strongly with breaking strain, elasticity, color difference (ΔE), and chroma (C), whereas breaking stress did not reflect storage-induced degradation.
Established predictive equations that accurately estimate mechanical and color quality attributes using weight loss data alone (R² = 0.81–0.94).
