Determining the ripeness of apples through firmness.

Industry

fruits

Solution

Beyond Quality

HSI-RGB view image (left) and HSI analysed image (right) - this representation allows for a clear comparison of sample characteristics.

Goal

Using hyperspectral imaging as a tool for rapid and nondestructive evaluation of firmness to improve decision-making process.

Methodologies Used

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI), Physical properties, Chemometric tools

Process

Hyperspectral imaging is used to rapidly, non-destructively predict apple ripeness, thereby optimizing processing decisions. This approach minimizes food waste by ensuring optimal qulity control.
