Background Sensory analysis is the evaluation of the signals received through senses of
sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. The traditional methods for the analysis of sensory …

This paper provides an overview of the principles and theory of measuring optical properties
of biological materials. It then presents the instrumentation and data analysis procedures for …

The similarity of gray characteristics and shapes of the defects, stems, and calyxes in apple
images is a difficult challenge for automatic identification and detection of apple defects in …

Visible–near infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy is a rapid and nondestructive method used to
characterize organic compounds in postharvest fruit and vegetable assessment. However …

Soluble solids (SS) in fruit are mainly composed of soluble sugars. This research aims to
further the understanding of the detection mechanism of soluble solid content (SSC) based …

New, non-destructive sensing techniques for fast and more effective quality assessment of
fruits and vegetables are needed to meet the ever-increasing consumer demand for better …

Fruit color and chemical composition, particularly dry matter and titratable acidity (TA), are
important tomato-quality parameters for consumers. Therefore, a single test allowing for the …

This study developed an efficient and compensable model for predicting soluble solids
content (SSC) of tomato, based on the self-developed online Vis/NIRS diffuse transmission …

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is one of the most studied optical techniques to estimate the
internal quality of fruits and vegetables. Absorbance and reflectance of the light radiation are …
