Mandarins are very prone to losing flavor quality during storage and, as a result, often have
a short shelf life. To better understand the basis of this flavor loss, two mandarin varieties …

Different measurement modes (reflectance, interactance and transmission) and spectral
windows (500–1100 nm) were compared for their ability to predict non-destructively the …

Sugar content is one of the most important quality attributes of citrus fruit, either for fresh or
for processing market. Since sugars in citrus juice are highly correlated with total soluble …

Visible and near infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS)(400− 1000 nm) is a key emerging non-
destructive technique for fruit quality assessment. This, because it is a unique method which …

Fruit quality is greatly affected by the ripening stage at harvest. In order to preserve quality
traits, increase product marketability, and extend both the storage time and the shelf life, it is …

Consumer evaluation of “Hayward” kiwifruit with a wide range of dry matter content at-
harvest has shown a higher liking by consumers for fruit with a high dry matter (high ripe fruit …

Dry matter (DM) has recently been proposed as a new quality index for apple, inspiring
similar investigations in other tree fruit crops. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) enables the …
