Article Abstract

Peaches are easily bruising during all stages of postharvest handling, maturity can affect the characteristics and detection of bruising, which is directly related to the quality and shelf life of peach. The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of maturity on the early detection of postharvest bruising in peach based on structured multispectral imaging (S-MSI) system. The S-MSI data was measured for bruised peaches, followed by microstructural (CLSM), and biochemical (oxidative browning-related enzyme activities, gene expression, and phenolic compound metabolism) measurements. As the maturity increases, the external impact stress could further induce the accumulation of phenolics through the phenylpropane pathway and pulp oxidative browning, resulting in more pronounced external damage; and the spectral reflectance value of bruised peach was getting smaller, and the spectral waveform gradually flattened out. Three characteristic bands of 781, 824, 867 nm were selected from structured spectra (669-955 nm) related to bruising. The watershed algorithm was adopted for bruise detection, the detection rates for bruised peaches based on three maturity levels (S1-S3) were 91-92%, 90.71-97.43%, and 97.14-99.86%, respectively. This research demonstrated that S-MSI system coupled with watershed algorithm, can enhance our capability of detecting the early bruised peaches of different maturity levels.

Assessing the internal quality of fruits is crucial in food chemistry and quality control, and bruises on peaches can affect their edible value and storage life. However, the early detection of slight bruises in yellow peaches is a major challenge, as the symptoms of slight bruises are difficult to distinguish. Herein, this study aims to develop a more simple and efficient structured-illumination reflectance imaging system (SIRI) and algorithms for the early nondestructive detection of slight bruises in yellow peaches.

This study aimed to detect various types of postharvest damages in peaches based on structured hyperspectral imaging (S-HSI), including impact, falling, and compression damage, which can lead to bruising. The research involved three different spatial frequencies (60, 100, and 150 m) and used a 2π/3 phase shift interval to capture S-HSI images. These images were then processed using a mathematical demodulated model to create high-resolution image cubes that included both image and spectral information from the S-HSI data.

The main objective was to measure the optical coefficients of peaches after bruising at different maturity levels and detect bruises. A spatially resolved method was used to acquire absorption coefficient (μ) and the reduced scattering coefficient (µ') spectra from 550 to 1000 nm, and a total of 12 groups (3 maturity levels * 4 detection times) were used to assess changes in µ and µ' resulting from bruising. Maturation and bruising both caused a decrease in µ' and an increase in µ, and the optical properties of immature peaches changed more after bruising than the optical properties of ripe peaches.
