Vegetables are an important part of the human diet and a major source of biologically active
substances such as vitamins, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and cholesterol‐lowering …

Optimum harvest maturity is one of the important factors determining the quality of avocado
fruit. Currently, avocado harvest maturity is mostly determined using markers or indices such …

To investigate and control quality, one must be able to measure quality-related attributes.
Quality of produce encompasses sensory attributes, nutritive values, chemical constituents …

Focusing exclusively on postharvest vegetable studies, this book covers advances in
biochemistry, plant physiology, and molecular physiology to maximize vegetable quality …

Research is still needed to develop practical methods for sensing firmness, internal
condition, and composition of quality-related constituents and volatiles. Nondestructive …

Time-domain NMR is being used throughout all areas of food science and technology. A
wide range of one-and two-dimensional relaxometric and diffusometric applications have …

The development of sensors to measure fruit internal quality variables is one of the
challenges of post-harvest technology. Several variables can currently be measured …

As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems with cryomagnets large enough to
accommodate samples of interest to postharvest researchers become more accessible, MRI …

This paper provides an overview of nondestructive imaging techniques for evaluating
internal and external quality characteristics of fruits and vegetables and the future prospects …

Internal browning in pears (Pyrus communis L. cv. Blanquilla) has been studied by NMR and
MRI in order to develop a non-destructive procedure for on-line disorder identification. For …
