Preliminary research of measurement methods for optical property parameters in fruit tissue

Abstract

The research for optical transmission in biomedicine has been studied for many years at domestic and abroad, but the applicative research for nondestructive measuring in fruit internal qualities has not been found nowadays. Therefore, the transmission mechanism and the research methods of optical transmission in biomedicine can be applied in fruit internal qualities analysis. It will give a chance to improve measuring precision in fruit internal qualities. In this paper, the optical transmission mechanism in fruit tissue, the optical property parameters of fruit tissue, the models of optical transmission in fruit tissue and the measurement methods of optical parameters in fruit tissue have been researched respectively. Meanwhile, an important measurement method, namely integrating sphere technology, is presented. It will provide the theoretical foundation for the research for nondestructive measuring in fruit internal qualities.
