Exposing tomatoes to salt stress has been reported to increase the fruit sugar content (°Brix); however, the causal impact of this treatment under varying environmental conditions remains unclear. In this pilot study, a causal inference analysis was ...
The characterization of aqueous sugar solutions using optical techniques offers a non-invasive, rapid, and reagent-free approach for concentration monitoring in both analytical and environmental contexts. In this study, aqueous D-glucose solutions at...
Sugar content is a crucial indicator of grape ripeness and grading, and developing non-contact and non-destructive sugar content detection devices is essential for grape-picking robots and sorting platforms. Spectroscopy, which can detect the chemica...

BACKGROUND: To determine the maturity of cantaloupe, measuring the soluble solid content (SSC) as the indicator of sugar content based on the refractometric index is commonly practised. This method, however, is destructive and limited to a small numb...
This study aims to investigate the changes in physical and chemical properties of edamame during bean development and apply a spectroscopy-based machine learning (ML) technique to determine optimal harvest time. The edamame harvested at R5 (beginning...
