Artificial fruit sensor system for monitoring the thermal behaviour of fruit in the cold chain

Abstract (Deutsch)

The main objectives of this project are (1) to develop a working prototype of an artificial fruit sensor system that mimics the size, shape and composition of fresh fruit, and thereby also its thermal behaviour, and that logs core and surface temperatures, (2) develop a manufacturing method for this artificial fruit, (3) prove the feasibility of the prototypes for monitoring fruit temperature history in cold chain operations by lab and field experiments.
