Background The increasing demand for quality assurance in agro-food production requires
sophisticated analytical methods for in-line quality control. One of these techniques is visible …

Hyperspectral imaging is built with the aggregation of imaging, spectroscopy and
radiometric techniques. This technique observes the sample behaviour when it is exposed …

Global food security for the increasing world population not only requires increased
sustainable production of food but a significant reduction in pre-and post-harvest waste. The …

Maturity estimation is critical for harvesting fruit at the correct time which in turn results in
good quality and longer shelf life of fruit. Researchers have explored several fruit maturity …

Banana undergoes significant quality indices and color transformations during shelf-life
process, which in turn affect important chemical and physical characteristics for the …

Two commercial portable spectrometers were compared for orange quality non-destructive
predictions by developing partial least squares calibration models, reflectance mode spectra …

NIR Spectroscopy ability was investigated to assess the fruit structure effect (passion fruit,
tomato and apricot) on prediction performance of soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable …

External and internal quality parameters of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) were
studied at harvest and during postharvest refrigerated storage using a handheld micro …

This study evaluated the feasibility of using a handheld micro-electro-mechanical system
(MEMS) spectrometer working in the 1600–2400nm range for the measurement of quality …

Fourier-transformed near infrared (FT-NIR) reflectance spectroscopy was used over a
spectral range of 800–2700nm to develop multivariate prediction models for total soluble …
