Browning disorders in pear fruit
- Christine Franck, J. Lammertyn, Q. Ho, P. Verboven, B. Verlinden, B. Nicolai
- Chemistry
- 2007
Disorders occurring during long-term storage of pears can cause economic loss, especially when disordered fruit cannot be distinguished externally from sound fruit. A typical category of disorders in… Expand
Combined discrete element and CFD modelling of airflow through random stacking of horticultural products in vented boxes
- M. Delele, E. Tijskens, +4 authors P. Verboven
- Engineering
- 1 November 2008
A direct model, using the explicit geometry of stacked products in boxes, was developed and used to study the local and average airflow through stacks of horticultural products. The discrete element… Expand
Three-Dimensional Gas Exchange Pathways in Pome Fruit Characterized by Synchrotron X-Ray Computed Tomography1[C][W][OA]
- P. Verboven, G. Kerckhofs, +5 authors B. Nicolaï
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Plant Physiology
- 16 April 2008
Our understanding of the gas exchange mechanisms in plant organs critically depends on insights in the three-dimensional (3-D) structural arrangement of cells and voids. Using synchrotron radiation… Expand

A Three-Dimensional Multiscale Model for Gas Exchange in Fruit1[C][W][OA]
- Q. Ho, P. Verboven, +4 authors B. Nicolaï
- Biology, Medicine
- Plant Physiology
- 11 January 2011
Respiration of bulky plant organs such as roots, tubers, stems, seeds, and fruit depends very much on oxygen (O2) availability and often follows a Michaelis-Menten-like response. A multiscale model… Expand
Multiscale modeling in food engineering
- Q. Ho, J. Carmeliet, +10 authors B. Nicolai
- Engineering
- 1 February 2013
Since many years food engineers have attempted to describe physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer that occur in food during unit operations by means of mathematical models. Foods are… Expand
Multifractal properties of pore-size distribution in apple tissue using X-ray imaging
- F. Mendoza, P. Verboven, Q. Ho, G. Kerckhofs, M. Wevers, B. Nicolai
- Materials Science
- 1 July 2010
Abstract The pore-size distribution (PSD) has an important influence on the complex gas transport phenomena (O2 and CO2) that occur in apple tissue during storage under controlled atmosphere… Expand
Review: Convective heat and mass exchange predictions at leaf surfaces: Applications, methods and perspectives
- T. Defraeye, P. Verboven, Q. Ho, B. Nicolai
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 2013
Convective heat and mass exchange of leaves with the environment is relevant for a better understanding of plant physiological processes in response to environmental factors for a wide range of… Expand
X-ray CT for quantitative food microstructure engineering: The apple case
- E. Herremans, P. Verboven, +7 authors B. Nicolai
- Chemistry
- 1 April 2014
Abstract Apple fruit is a major crop that can be supplied year-round due to low temperature storage in a controlled atmosphere with a reduced oxygen concentration and an increased carbon dioxide… Expand
Three-dimensional microscale modelling of CO2 transport and light propagation in tomato leaves enlightens photosynthesis.
- Q. Ho, H. Berghuijs, +10 authors B. Nicolaï
- Biology, Medicine
- Plant, cell & environment
- 2016
We present a combined three-dimensional (3-D) model of light propagation, CO2 diffusion and photosynthesis in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) leaves. The model incorporates a geometrical… Expand
