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.
