Fruit Color Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Fruit Color Analysis

Fruit color analysis employs spectrophotometric measurement to quantify ripeness and quality based on chromatic properties. Using the CIE L*a*b* color space, introduced in 1976, this non-destructive method objectively grades fruit maturity and predicts sensory acceptability. It is widely applied in commercial sorting lines and research settings for precision quality control.
