Non-destructive Measurements of Total Soluble Solids in Mandarin
7 Sept 2017High levels of total soluble solids are positively correlated with consumer preference in citrus, and therefore harvest time should be managed to maximize total soluble solids. This application note presents a method using near infrared (NIR) technology, utilized by the F-750 Produce Quality Meter, enabling the assessment of total soluble solid content non-destructively.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
