A computer vision system was implemented to identify the ripening stages of bananas based on color, development of brown spots, and image texture information. Nine simple features of appearance (L* a*, b* values; brown ...

Microencapsulation of bixin using high-amylose corn starch was carried out by the acidification method. Bixin powders were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), FT-IR ...

The aim of this research was to develop an objective method to determine the best harvest date for non-melting peach cultivars. For this purpose the absorbance of chlorophyll (I-AD) on the skin of 'Andes Du-1', 'Loadel' ...

The powerful psychoactive features of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) have sparked the imagination of many research disciplines for several decades. One of the key chemical features associated with compound identity is the ...

This work shows the development, construction, validation and application of an in-line colorimeter used for real time color quantification of the melted flow during polymer processing in the extruder. The device uses a ...
