Nondestructive quality assessment of Agro-food products

The quality and safety of agro-food products is a growing concern nowadays. Nondestructive attributed quality assessment methods have gained dominant factor and considerable attempts for fresh fruit and vegetable these years. This review covers development in the field of non-destructive techniques for assessment internal quality of agro-food products up to now. In this review advanced sensing methods such as optical, spectroscopic, acoustic, mechanical and other technique like E-nose and E-tongue and so on are discussed. Much research is now being directed toward the development of nondestructive measurement devices that are versatile, economical, and simple to use. Emphases are placed on those method have shown great advantage for agro-food products. As sensor measure a single quality property, Sensor fusion technique has shown great potential for overall attributed quality measurement. It is possible to screen large numbers of diverse samples by applying these techniques
