Thesis (Laureatus in Technology ( Food))-- Cape Technikon, 1991 / This dissertation reports on a three prong approach to obtain new
knowledge on the interdependent effects which buyers' specifications,
peach crop attributes and sieve stack arrangement have on the masses
of peach halves sorted into classes of average diameter. Applying
statistical methods and using suitable application computer programs
a computer-aided system was developed to improve on the manual
selection of sieve diameters. It was concluded that size sorting
peach halves for the purpose of mass classification is inaccurate and
counter-productive. It is suggested that modern technology be
employed to develop a method to determine peach half masses
individually.
