ABSTRACT Flacourtia jangomas (Lour.) Raeush is an underutilized fruit of India frequently found in the Barak valley of Assam and nearby areas of the north-eastern part of the country. It has good medicinal, nutritional and economic value. The research was conducted to investigate the physical, mechanical, biochemical and thermal properties of the fruit and to determine the mass modeling of the fruit depending on its various dimensional attributes. Models like S-curve, Power and Quadratic models were used to predict the mass of the fruit. It was found that mass could be predicted best when models were based on length, thickness and volume. The quadratic and power models showed the best relation between the mass and dimensional parameters of the fruit. The physicochemical characterization and mass modeling of the Indian coffee plum fruit would help in the design and development of various processing, handling, and storage equipment.

印度咖啡李 (Flacourtia Jangomas) 果实的质量建模及其理化特性

摘要 Flacourtia jangomas (Lour.) Raeush 是一种未充分利用的印度水果，常见于阿萨姆邦的巴拉克山谷和该国东北部附近地区。它具有良好的药用、营养和经济价值。该研究旨在调查水果的物理、机械、生化和热特性，并根据水果的各种尺寸属性确定水果的质量模型。使用 S 曲线、幂和二次模型等模型来预测水果的质量。发现当模型基于长度、厚度和体积时，可以最好地预测质量。二次模型和幂模型显示了水果的质量和尺寸参数之间的最佳关系。
