Description

An apparatus for measuring the DLE of tomatoes using flash light excitation was devised to examine the DLE characteristics of the tomatoes. The DLE of tomatoes was saturated in the dark chamber for a duration of 5 minutes and was hardly affected by fruit temperature. The intensity of the DLE correlated well with the value of peel color, suggesting the possibility of maturity evaluation and sorting of tomatoes according to their DLE intensity.
