WEBINAR: Half a Million Fruit Quality Scans: What the Data Says About the Future of Freshness

Fruit quality can feel unpredictable, even when teams rely on long-standing testing methods. Over the past decade, Felix Instruments has scanned more than half a million individual fruits across crops such as avocado, mango, citrus, grape, apple, and more, building a large real-world dataset that reveals just how variable internal quality can be. In this webinar, Director of Applied Science Galen George walks through what that dataset shows about maturity, dry matter, shelf life, and the patterns that often go unseen through traditional small-sample testing.

The replay below covers how non-destructive NIR tools enable representative sampling at scale, why certain assumptions about firmness, brix, and dry matter warrant a second look, and how data-driven decision-making can help growers, packers, and retailers deliver more consistent fruit. If your operation is navigating variability, retailer demands, or rising consumer expectations, this session offers clear, practical insights grounded in real numbers.
