| Abstract:
A hyperspectral near infrared imaging device was developed to measure the starch content of apple fruit during their maturation. A good relation was found between the score plots of the first PC after calculation of a PCA analysis of the hyperspectral images of three apples of different maturity. This was observed for 6 different cultivars. Further, the instrument indicated that internal disorders such as water core could also be detected. | |
