| Keeping-quality of individual cucumbers is limited by the green colour; the keeping-quality of batches of cucumbers is limited by the time it takes before 5% of the cucumbers in the batch reach a predefined colour limit. From literature concerning the synthesis and degradation of chlorophyll and a published colour model (Schouten, Tijskens and Van Kooten 2002) it is known that colour behaviour of individual cucumbers depends on the concentration of protochlorophyllide (Pchl), at harvest. Here a model for the synthesis and degradation of Pchl is proposed for individual cucumbers, assuming that light conditions during growth are a major factor for Pchl synthesis. Subsequently, this individual Pchl model is expanded to a batch model that describes the... |
