7 Best Practices for Collecting NIR Data in the Field

7 Best Practices for Collecting NIR Data in the Field

Good field NIR data collection starts long before the first scan. In orchards, vineyards, and packing operations, the difference between useful data and noisy data usually comes down to sampling discipline, repeatable technique, and the right instrument setup. That is why field teams using handheld NIR tools need a process that matches the chemistry of… Continue reading…

NIR Dry Matter Testing for Mango Export Readiness with the F-751 Mango Meter

NIR Dry Matter Testing for Mango Export Readiness with the F-751 Mango Meter

NIR dry matter testing has become a practical standard for evaluating mango export readiness, especially in supply chains where consistency and eating quality matter as much as yield. For exporters, dry matter is a reliable indicator of maturity that correlates closely with flavor, texture, and consumer satisfaction. Using a handheld solution like the F-751 Mango… Continue reading…

Measuring Dry Matter Variability in Kiwifruit Using the F-751 Kiwi Meter

Measuring Dry Matter Variability in Kiwifruit Using the F-751 Kiwi Meter

Dry matter variability in kiwifruit is one of the most persistent challenges facing growers, packers, and postharvest managers. Even within a single orchard block, dry matter can vary widely from vine to vine and from fruit to fruit. That variability directly affects eating quality, storage behavior, and market consistency. Measuring dry matter variability in kiwifruit… Continue reading…
