APLIKASI THERMAL IMAGE PENDETEKSI TINGKAT KEMATANGAN BUAH PISANG DAN APOKAT

Banana ‘Cavendish’ and avocado are grouped into climacteric fruits perishable in nature after harvest. The facts that both harvested when they still green make difficulties detecting fruit maturities. This occurs because the harvest criteria carried out physically, where with same physical may have different levels of physiological maturity. Thermal image (TI) is a non-invasive, non-contact non-destructive technology used to determine thermal properties features various objects, including fruits. study aimed analyze maturities banana method. results showed (1) could distinguish level maturity, maturity between each hand on bunch bananas ripe unripe phases; (2) mature had lower temperature than immature one, but was getting ripe, higher fruit. Thus, it can be stated body radiation represented by opportunity as method
