The potential of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry for quantitative
evaluation of apple mealiness has been investigated.
The degree of "mealiness" was defined by several mechanical techniques, including penetration,
compression and shear rupture as well as by the BRIX (soluble solids) and juiciness levels. These data were correlated with
both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and NMR water proton transverse relaxation
time measurements on a fruit-by-fruit basis. It
was found that increasing mealiness caused a systematic increase in the transverse relaxation rate. The potential for rapid,
on-line NMR/MRI detection of apple mealiness is discussed.
