DEVELOPMENT OF REAL TIME MODEL FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLE
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Food Processing And Preservation Technology
Abstract
This study aims at developing a non-invasive method of monitoring the quality of fruits and vegetables that are hitherto checked manually. As indications are generally rated, morphologic conditions, such as size, color, softness, or firmness (depending upon the kind of the plant organ that can be harvested) considering also the weather of course during the development phase. After harvest degradations of the quality are to be expected, this can be partly retarded by suitable site conditions (for example, cooling). The proposed project is an attempt to move one step forward in innovating a simple and creative real time model of assuring the quality of fruits and vegetables prior to processing in food industries. This model would eliminate the drudgery of the need to manhandle fruits/vegetables hitherto followed even in small food processing units. It is also proposed to make use of indigenous electronic components in the fabrication of this model.
