  • Advantages of assessing blueberry, cherry, and tomato quality with TR TURONI durometers

    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.

  • Do you know the DAmeter?

    Do you know the DAmeter?

    If you are here you might already know the DAmeter by TR TURONI. In case you don’t, let me introduce you to this innovative tool. Who needs the DAmeter and why? The DAmeter is a tool for growers, an innovative help to know when to harvest fruit such as apples, peaches, kiwis, pears, apricots and others. In fact it is capable of monitoring their ripening without destroying the product in order to choose the best moment to pick. In the postharvest it can be used by the places for storing and packing to divide fruits in ripening classes or in other words in groups of homogeneous… Read more
