The firmness of fruit pulp is very important for fruit traders. The harvest date of fruit is fixed by help of the measurement of the fruit pulp, regarding the shipment date to different customers' countries, or duration of storage. This test is very reliable and performs easily and non-destructively.

Measurement Principle

The technician should do two measurements at the opposite sides of each fruit, e.g., at the sun-side and the shadow-side. The point of measurement should be plain and without any fault on the peel. With this instrument, the user can see the yielding of the fruit under a certain and constant press power as well as a defined measuring distance. The indicated measured value is a quotient. For this reason it is absolutely important that the user always note the anvil employed for the firmness test. The anvil does not penetrate the peel of the fruit.
