Laser-Induced Fluoresence Spectroscopy (LIFS) - Application in Horticulture

During the last few years there has been an increased concern about the nutritive value of phytochemicals in fresh fruit, nuts and vegetables for protection against cardiovascular diseases and different types of cancer.Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis has become an accepted tool for measuring the activity and capacity of photosystem ll under various stress conditions.However, laser fluorescence kinetics may provide a non-destructive tool to measure active fruit compounds relevant for human nutrition.A joint experiment showed the potential and present limits of this method for high-quality fresh apples, stored oranges, grapes and fruit salad, as well as bruised apples.
