Type of article: Article
Summary
An automated firmness monitoring system for apples (involving use of a first-order degradation model), was developed to estimate loss of firmness during storage and to determine the time when cool stores should be opened. The non-destructive acoustic impulse response technique was chosen to measure firmness.
