Innovative measurements and models for predicting shelf life of fresh foods during postharvest
Using non-destructive sensors, quality changes of individual products can be monitored over time. This elucidates the biological variability within a batch. Repeated measures require proper statistical analysis as standard techniques from literature used with destructive sensors are no longer applicable. Therefore, the concept of mixed models is introduced. The mixed model concept allows ...

Innovations in fruit packing: a slow kiwifruit packing line and a robotic apple packer
We briefly review the published advances which have been made in the fruit packing process and present two innovations; firstly, a novel packing line for kiwifruit and secondly, an automated apple packing system. The underlying principle of the novel packing line is to run it slowly enough that each stage of the packing process can operate optimally while minimising damage to the fruit. Adequate ...

NIR Vs. Penetrometer to judge produce quality
Though firmness has been popularly used to assess the quality of fruit, fruit dry matter is now increasingly being used instead. It is necessary to understand both traits to find the reason behind this shift in preference. Dry Matter When water is removed from produce, what is left are the solids, or the dry matter. The dry matter (DM) of plants is made up of many soluble compounds, called the ...
