Classification of Fruits Based on Quality Using Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: The visual inspection method for fruit grading is prone to judgment distortion among different individuals. There is a demand for an automated fruit classification machine to replace labor-intensive processes with an intelligent system for fruit quality classification. This study proposes a practical real-time fruit quality classification system that classifies the fruit’s appearance in order to decrease human effort costs in the fruit industry. For the sorting and classification of fruits, …

A Machine Vision Approach for Grading of Onions
Abstract: Grading of fruits and vegetables (on the basis of various external and internal quality attributes) is an important unit operation in the food industry. For products such as onions, grading is performed mainly on the basis of size. In the present study, a machine vision system was used to grade onions into three categories (extra-large, medium and small) based on variations in size. The machine vision system consisted of a …

Convolutional Neural Network Based Ripeness Detection of Fruits
Abstract: The accurate and efficient assessment of fruit ripeness plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of fruits and optimizing supply chain management. This paper presents a novel approach for the automated detection of apple and banana ripeness using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The suggested method supports the capability of CNNs to learn hierarchical features from images, variations in color and shape associated with different ripeness stages. The online dataset …

Valorization of Fruit and Vegetable Wastes for CA Production: A Comprehensive Review with Emphasis on Aspergillus niger Bioprocessing and Future Prospects
Abstract: Citric Acid (CA) is a multifunctional organic acid with diverse industrial applications, recently gaining prominence in polymer and composite science as a green crosslinker, compatibilizer, and functional additive. Conventionally produced through submerged fermentation of refined sugars by Aspergillus niger, industrial CA production faces sustainability challenges due to reliance on food-grade substrates. This review highlights emerging strategies for CA biosynthesis from vegetable and fruit processing residues—including cucumber peels, broccoli stalks, spinach …

Quality Analysis of Fruit Samples by Non-invasive Method
Abstract: AbstractFruit quality is an important food manufacturing requirement, because food consumers are susceptible to any form of contamination that may occur during the manufacturing process. This includes external factors as appearance (size, shape, colour, gloss, and consistency), texture, and flavor ; factors such as federal grade standards (e.g. Apple) and internal (chemical, physical, microbial). In this experiment, the dielectric constant of free space (of air) is measured using a parallel …

Antidiabetic Property of Cucumis Sativus Aqueous Leaf Extracts in Alloxan Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Abstract: Studies have proven the antidiabetic property of fruit, seeds and pulp of Cucumis sativus. Hence, to investigate the antidiabetic property of the leaf, the aqueous leaf extract of Cucumis sativus L. (Cucurbitaceae) was investigated on alloxan induced type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced with alloxan and different graded doses of the extracts were then administered to normal and experimental diabetic rats for 12 days. Evaluation was done in …

Recent Trends in the Use of Chemicals in Farming and Food Processing
Abstract: Intake of food and drinks in pure form are unavoidable for the survival of life. However, there is need of serious concern towards food safety which is contaminated by the increasing environmental pollution and other ways of adulteration round the globe. Indiscriminate use of various food additives in fast growing food processing industries has created new problems instead of safeguarding the edibles. The motive behind making undue profits in these …

Comparative Evaluation of Dodders, Giloy, Onion Peels and Fruit Waste-Prepared Composite Biochar Polymeric Adsorbent (CBPA) For Use in Wastewater Treatment
Abstract: Due to pollutants that have a negative impact on water bodies, wastewater treatment has attracted a lot of attention throughout the years. In many developing countries domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants are lacking or not working efficiently for detergents due to the refractory nature of such chemicals. Generally the industrial wastewater is directly discharged into the existing water bodies (drains, nallahs etc.) after primary settling tanks. These refractory contaminants …
