![]() The lateral strain of the peels was characterized by strain ratios and the Poisson’s ratio, which were close to zero or slightly negative for nearly all tested peels. Furthermore, local deformations were visualized, illustrating the inhomogeneous local strain patterns of the peels. Therefore, the peels were quasi-statically compressed to 50% compression and analyzed with manual and digital image correlation methods. We compare the structural and biomechanical properties (e.g., density, stress, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio) of these peels and analyze which properties they share. This study analyzes how various properties in citrus peels of the pomelo, citron, lemon, grapefruit, and orange affect their compression behavior. While most citrus fruit peels share this basic morphological setup, they differ in various structural and mechanical properties. ![]() 4Freiburg Center for Interactive Materials and Bioinspired Technologies (FIT), Freiburg, Germanyĭue to their special peel tissue, comprising a dense flavedo (exocarp), a less dense albedo (mesocarp), and a thin endocarp, most citrus fruits can withstand the drop from a tree or high shrub (relatively) undamaged. ![]() 3Freiburg Materials Research Center (FMF), Freiburg, Germany.2Cluster of Excellence livMatS FIT, Freiburg, Germany.1Plant Biomechanics Group, Faculty of Biology, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.Maximilian Jentzsch 1,2* †, Marie-Christin Badstöber 1 †, Franziska Umlas 1 † and Thomas Speck 1,2,3,4 †
