CIRO VELASQUEZ, Héctor José; MONTOYA LOPEZ, Mary Luz y MILLAN CARDONA, Leonidas de Jesús. CHARACTERIZATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BANANA (Cavendish Valery). Rev. Fac. Nac. Agron. Medellín [online]. 2005, vol.58, n.2, pp.2975-2988. ISSN 0304-2847.
Bananas (Cavendish Valery) were subjected to unidirectional compression loads using a TA-XT21 texture analyzer. The results of the force to fracture and compression tests indicated that the mechanical properties of the product in its natural state and its pulp have a higher resistance to flexion than to compression. The statistical models indicated that the mechanical properties of the products defined by firmness, fracture and elastic modulus are highly dependent upon post-harvest time. A similar situation occurred in the physical-chemical characterization.
