This research was aimed to study the effects of loading force and storage period on the physiological characteristic of pears. In this experiment, the pears were subjected to quasi-static loading (wide-edge and thin-edge) and different storage periods (5, 10 and 15 days). The amounts of the fruits’ total phenol, antioxidant and vitamin C contents were evaluated after each storage period. In the present study, multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network featuring a hidden layer and two activating functions (hyperbolic tangent-sigmoid) and a total number of 5 and 10 neurons in each layer were selected for the loading force and storage period so that the amounts of the total phenol, antioxidants and vitamin C contents of the fruits could be forecasted. According to the obtained results, the highest R2 rates for thin-edge and wide-edge loading in a network with 10 neurons in the hidden layer and a sigmoid activation function were obtained for total phenol content( =0.9539- =0.9865), antioxidant ( =0.9839- =0.9649) and vitamin C ( =0.9758); as for wide-edge loading in a network with 5 neurons in the hidden layer and hyperbolic tangent activation function, the highest R2 rate of vitamin C content was obtained equal to =0.9865. According to the obtained results, the neural network with these two activation functions possesses an appropriate ability in overlapping and predicting the simulated data based on real data.
