Kamaldeen OS

Evaluation of modified tomato slicing machine was carried out to investigate the effects of tomato firmness on operative processing conditions of the slicer. The data from evaluation was analyzed and compared using Duncan Multiple Rate Test (DMRT) on SPSS. The results showed that tomato firmness has effect on slicing efficiency and output capacity of the machine. The modified slicer gave the best slicing performance of 94% with mature green tomato and also gave the highest output capacity of 2593.4 g/hr. with ripe tomato.
