Kokkuvõte	Brix measurement quantifies the dissolved solids (primarily sugars) in fruit juice using refractometry, a non-destructive optical technique. Introduced by Carl Zeiss in the 19th century and standardized by AOAC, it is the universal industry standard for assessing fruit ripeness and quality in horticulture and postharvest processing.	Postharvest storage simulation uses computational models to predict fruit and vegetable quality degradation during storage and distribution under variable temperature and humidity conditions. Pioneered by Tijskens and Nicolaï in 2001, these mechanistic and empirical models enable logistics optimization, reduce food waste, and improve supply chain transparency. They are integrated into decision support systems for commercial packinghouses and research facilities.
