abstract the assessment of ripeness is a major part of quality evaluation and depends on several factors such as soluble solid content (ssc), acidity and firmness. most of the methods that measure these qualities are destructive. so it is essential to develop an efficient and nondestructive method for measuring internal attributes of fruit. the objective of this study was to investigate visible...

tomato is a major fruit, as well as a major food science product. there is a need of determining the quality attributes of this fruit (nondestructively) due to the increasing demand of the in agro-industrially controlled areas. most of the commonly employed techniques are time consuming and involve a considerable degree of manual work. sample preparation, juice making, and laboratory tests ...

Recently, some nondestructive methods for the assessment of albumen freshness were developed. Among others, visible near-infrared transmission spectroscopy and low-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (LR (1)H NMR) measurements were proposed. This study was performed to evaluate the potential of the combined measurement of visible near-infrared transmission spectroscopy and LR (1)H NMR ...

Mealiness degrades the quality of apples and plays an important role in fruit market. Therefore, the use of reliable and rapid sensing techniques for nondestructive measurement and sorting of fruits is necessary. In this study, the potential of acoustic signals of rolling apples on an inclined plate as a new technique for nondestructive detection of Red Delicious apple mealiness was investigate...

− High voltage varistors that consist of grained ZnO have to be tested before assembling. The recommended method for standard industrial testing of varistors demands application of high voltages and intensive currents that is inconvenient and needs extensive power consumption. Nondestructive methods for varistor quality and endurance evaluation have been proposed. They rely on the application o...

This paper presents a possibility to use Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy as nondestructive evaluation method for ceramic elements of prosthesis such as ceramic femoral heads. With this method can be emphasized the incorrect sintering of these elements as well as eventually cracks. If the number of resonance peaks is big enough, the elements of elasticity matrix can be determined, demonstrated ...
