Near-Infrared (NIR)

Produce Quality Meter F-750

Produce quality assessment in a new light Providing unparalleled versatility and performance in understanding your commodity’s key quality indicators.

Using Near-infrared spectroscopy to measure quality metrics such as dry matter, brix, titratable acidity and colour. The F-750 has a wide range of applications including determining the optical harvest timing by assessing fruit maturity and providing an objective analysis of produce quality of fruit in packing houses and upon import.
