Performance and evaluation of vegetable binding tape
2006
Katahira, M.(Akita-ken. Agricultural Experiment Station (Japan)) | ; Saito, S.
In response to both consumers and producers wishes for more easily cut vegetable binding tape, we have developed an improved tape with 10mm slits at 10mm intervals. The improved tape had sufficient strength at different temperatures, and there was no difference in ultimate strength load or proportional limit load - even after 36 days of storage. The tape's storage performance was, therefore, equal to that of conventional vegetable binding tape. A survey of producers using the new tape showed that the tapes actual performance was at least equal to that of conventional tape, and a survey of consumers elicited higher evaluations of its performance over conventional tape. Consumers indicated that the new tape could be a factor in their purchasing choices.
