Grading of fruits and vegetables is an initial step after harvesting. It is also an essential operation before packaging. In the present study, different fuzzy algorithms for classification of mature tomato were applied and evaluated based on combinations of fruit color, size and hardness. Fuzzy membership functions of hardness were established by subjecting samples to Instron compression test as well as the rates of panelists. Each sample was also used for image processing to determine the color and size of fruit using Matlab image processing toolbox. Color and size fuzzy membership functions were established by published standard. The fuzzy If-Then rules were applied to classify the samples within five group outputs viz. “grade I”, “grade II”, “grade I-far market”, “processing”, and “storage”. Eighty-one fuzzy rules were reduced to 25 rules by combining the compatible rules. Six fuzzy algorithms with different fuzzifiers (zmf, sigmf, gbellmf) and defuzzifiers (bisector, mom, and centroid) were applied, and the outputs were compared to the panelists’ classifications in cross tables. According to the classification results, fuzzy algorithms grouped the fruits into correct classes with 90.9%, 92.3%, 88.7%, 87.4%, 92.4% and 93.3% accuracy for 6 models, respectively. The best result was observed with zmf and sigmf, and gbellmf as fuzzifier and mom as defuzzifier with 93.3% accuracy. Overly, the results revealed that the fusion of aforementioned tomato properties based on fuzzy membership functions could accurately classify the tomatoes in correct groups for different markets.
