Improving Kiwifruit Quality
Dry matter (DM) and postharvest management will determine the final kiwifruit quality, so precisely estimating DM at harvest is essential. The main aim of postharvest handling is to reduce fruit softening due to ripening, as the fruit is delicate. Research in postharvest handling and processing suitable for local conditions is in varying stages of readiness… Continue reading…

The 5 Most Important Parameters in Produce Quality Control
Quality control throughout the process of precision horticulture is vital to maximizing efficient food production. Five quality parameters are regularly relied upon for the most accurate assessment of produce quality: dry matter, soluble sugars, titrable acidity, color, and firmness. These parameters act as maturity index and can optimize quality and yield in the supply chain… Continue reading…
Guide to Fresh Fruit Quality Control
Quality control is essential because fruits are perishable and delicate and can be affected by handling, storage conditions, weather, pests and diseases, internal changes, and genetics. Accurate fruit quality assessment is critical on the farm, as well as during packaging, storage, transport, artificial ripening, retailing, and research. Internal fruit quality, ripening gas analysis in storage… Continue reading…
