“…In this research, after preparing nectarine slices, AOAC standard was used to determine moisture content. For this purpose, the nectarine slices were placed in oven with the temperature of 105°C for 4 hr in three replications (Doymaz, 2007; Jahanbakhshi, Yeganeh, & Shahgoli, 2019). Finally, the initial moisture content (MC) of nectarine slices was calculated to be 87.33% (w.b.…”

Drying is one of the ways to reduce postharvest waste and processing in agricultural products. Drying with hot air is one of the most popular drying methods in the food industry. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ultrasound and temperature on the quality and thermodynamic properties in the process of drying nectarine slices in a hot air dryer. The drying process was performed at four levels of ultrasonic pre-treatment of 0 min (control sample), 10, 20, and 40 min and three temperature levels of 50, 60, and 75°C. Experiments were performed on 5 mm thick How to cite this article: Jahanbakhshi A, Yeganeh R, Momeny M.

“…For example, when a carton box of fruit is pressed between other boxes, the pressure that is momentarily applied on fruits from the other boxes, the loader bucket, or the tractor creates static loads on them. Therefore, it is very important to know that agricultural products as viscoelastic material show creepy behavior over time (Dintwa, Van Zeebroeck, Ramon, & Tijskens, 2008; Hussein, Fawole, & Opara, 2019a, 2019b; Jahanbakhshi, Yeganeh, & Shahgoli, 2019b; Opara & Fadiji, 2018).…”

Analysis of static forces has an important role in bulk storage of agricultural products. The forces exerted on individual fruits, vegetables, or grains cause mechanical damage to them and lead to their permanent deformation. By analyzing the forces involved, we can manage them with proper methods and prevent the creation of waste. In this research, by conducting experiments, the required parameters for potato samples were obtained and simulated through the finite element method under load. Creep and tension tests were conducted on a cylindrical potato sample with the diameter and height of 25 mm. Apparent shear modulus had been extracted over time and imported to the Abaqus 2016. Simulation results showed that the maximum tension of 0.061 MPa occurred in layers near the pressure plate. Tension concentration caused the maximum tension of 0.07 MPa in the center of the potato. In accordance with the created tension, maximum displacement of 0.35 mm occurred in contact layer with the pressure plate and by moving away from this plate, displacement decreased linearly and reached to zero at bottom layer. The results showed that measuring the forces in storage and knowing the forces applied to the product can be effective in controlling the storage quality of agricultural products and reducing waste. Practical Applications Analysis of static forces has important role in bulk storage of agricultural products. By analyzing the involving forces, they can be managed with proper methods and prevent the creation of waste. This paper found that maximum stress and damage occur at force inserted areas and in areas of tubers are in contact with external material like transporting and storage boxes. Then, it should be tried to fabricate new flexible and viscoelastic materials such as polymers which acts like tubers in contact areas to decrease tubers’ stress to minimum value at contact points. Also more attention should be paid to stress concentration that may occur inside tubers which can lead to crush and destroy the product. Stacking more tubers on storage which can increase inserted stress beyond the value that leads to stress concentration should be avoided.

“…The application of biological and organic fertilizers in combination with chemical fertilizers is the most important strategy of integrated plant feed for sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems and enhancing their production in sustainable agricultural systems (Ahangarnezhad, Najafi, & Jahanbakhshi, 2019; Delgosha, Mansouri Far, Sadat Asilan, & Asghari, 2015; Eliaspour et al., 2020; Jahanbakhshi, Abbaspour‐Gilandeh, Ghamari, & Heidarbeigi, 2019a; Jahanbakhshi, Rasooli Sharabiani, Heidarbeigi, Kaveh, & Taghinezhad, 2019b). Also, in crop production sustainability plan, soil fertility sustainability is considered as one of the main components.…”
