Formation/Removal of Biofilms on/from Coupons of Selected Food-Grade Elastomeric Polymers vs. Plexiglass Used for the Fruit-Catching Plates of OTR Blueberry Machine Harvesters
To reduce the bruising potential of machine-harvested fresh blueberries, manufacturers of over-the-row (OTR) machine harvesters are replacing the hard, plexiglass fruit-catching plates with soft, elastomeric polymers. This study assessed whether selected soft, food-grade elastomeric polymers, with t...
