About

Wael El Magd is a researcher whose work bridges agricultural engineering and food processing, with a particular focus on the post-harvest properties of crops. His key research areas include the physical and mechanical characterization of agricultural products, natural drying techniques, and the development of design parameters for processing machinery. His most-cited study, "Study on some Properties of Tomato Fruits for Natural Sun Drying" (2021), provides essential data on the physiochemical and mechanical traits of the Jasmin 775 tomato variety, establishing regression models to estimate fruit volume and mass from diameter and projected area. This foundational work serves as a critical database for engineers and designers developing efficient drying and sorting equipment. With 5 citations, this paper underscores his contribution to optimizing natural drying processes—a low-cost, sustainable method vital for reducing post-harvest losses in developing regions. El Magd’s research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners in agricultural mechanization, offering practical insights that directly support the design of more effective processing systems.
