Contributions of cellular components to the rheological behaviour of kiwifruit

In this research work we propose an empirical model and develop a methodology for the determination of the magnitude of the contributions of turgor pressure, cell wall and middle lamellae, to the elastic properties of a plant material within a particular tissue type. The model system used was outer...

The model system used was outer pericarp tissue from unripe and ripe kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward). Samples were equilibrated in a series (0-0.96 M) of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG) solutions, and the volumes, storage (G′) and loss (G″) moduli, and the tangent of the phase angle (tanδ) of the tissue samples determined.
