Avantes spectrometers bring precision and speed to the produce industry, enabling accurate, nondestructive measurement of key quality parameters such as sugar content, ripeness, moisture, and internal defects. With powerful VIS/NIR performance, high sensitivity, and easy integration into automated sorting systems, Avantes instruments help growers and processors ensure consistent product quality, reduce waste, and optimize efficiency from farm to shelf.
Fuji Apples – Optimizing Quality and Sorting
Researchers used near-infrared (600–1,100 nm) spectroscopy to measure internal fruit qualities like sugar content, water content, and firmness. By identifying the most sensitive wavelengths, they streamlined data collection for portable and inline sensing systems, improving efficiency in fruit sorting. Tools used included the AvaSpec-ULS2048 spectrometer, AvaLight-HAL-S-Mini illumination source, and fiber-optic reflection probes.
Jonagold Apples – Post-Harvest Monitoring
A study on Jonagold apples used reflectance spectra to differentiate damaged from healthy tissue, isolating four predictive filters for automated quality assessment. This approach enables smarter fruit sorting and reduced waste, using the AvaSpec-ULS2048-USB2 spectrometer integrated with a camera system.
Avantes’ spectroscopy solutions help growers and packers monitor quality, enhance sorting, and make data-driven decisions across a variety of fruit applications.
