A major critical literature review places major emphasis on quality control methods that have been found to be useful for the non-destructive optical evaluation of maturity and/or ripeness in agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and their processed products. Attention also is given to the detection of internal and external defects and the subsequent development of antomated sorting machines for on-line, real-time measurements of food and food product quality. Theoretical aspects for developing non-destructive analytical methods utilizing the optical properties of several agricultural and biological products also are discussed. (wz)
