Abstract
External and internal changes in fruits during storage time are affected by the various factors. Some of these changes can be studied by measuring the mechanical attributes. In this research, the effects of storage time on some mechanical properties of Valencia orange were investigated. Analysis of experimental results showed that storage time and fruit size have significant effect(at level 1%) on the rupture force and deformation. The resistance of orange fruit in order to applied forces firstly decreased and then increased with increasing time. Rupture force and deformation values were increased by increasing fruit size. Also rupture force affected by load direction so that this value is significantly lower in the longitude direction than the transverse direction.
