| Abstract:
The objective of the paper reported was to determine the role of parameters, such as the rupture stress, the coefficient of elasticity and the color characteristic in ripeness sensing of apricots. The results of the discriminant analysis for two variables - the coefficient of elasticity and the color characteristic - shows the best fit for the selection into three ripeness classes, better than with other combinations, where the rupture stress is included. The advantage of the use of these two parameters is that these ones are to be determined by nondestructive methods that can be performed under off-laboratory conditions as well. | |
