Advantages of assessing blueberry, cherry, and tomato quality with TR TURONI durometers
Measuring the firmness of fruit flesh is one of the most important parameters to determine the shelf-life of a product. This parameter is usually measured with a penetrometer, which is very easy to use as it measures the strength necessary to penetrate the flesh of a fruit.
"But there are products that are not suitable for measuring with penetrometers. This is why other tools, called durometers, have been developed to determine flesh firmness/elasticity and which have been used in the industrial sector for some time to measure the hardness of rubber," reports Enrico Turoni from TR Turoni.
