The article is devoted to a review of the experimental methods for studying the mechani- cal properties of various biological objects (biological tissues). The mechanical properties are used to evaluate and monitor the quality of agricultural products. In particular, the experimen- tal data will help to improve equipment for harvesting, to develop effective methods of trans- portation and packing of a crop. Two-dimensional experimental method of determining the mechanical characteristics of exocarp (peel) of apples was devoted. The example was consid- ered.
