Broader scope may enhance UV screening of navel oranges
date:Aug 19, 2013


As expected, fruit with high fluorescence developed further decay and peel-quality problems during storage, but so did many of the oranges that had only moderate fluorescence.

Taken as a whole, the findings suggest that packers who are not already doing so might want to expand UV screening to take several fluorescence levels and patterns into account when sorting navel oranges.

The idea of expanding UV use to include more than detection of the classic decay signature is not new. But the Parl
