Non-destructive acoustic impact response involves generating a small impact on the surface of the fruit using a device, such as an accelerometer, and then measuring the resulting sound waves. These sound waves are analyzed to determine various properties of the fruit, such as its firmness, maturity, and quality.

During the test, the accelerometer is attached to the fruit surface, and then a tiny impact is applied using a spring-loaded striker. The accelerometer records the resulting vibrations, which are then analyzed to determine the fruit’s texture properties.

Non-destructive acoustic impact response provides a quick and non-invasive method to assess fruit texture. Non-destructive acoustic impact response has also been found to be a reliable method for assessing the quality of fruits, which can help reduce waste by identifying fruits that are too ripe or damaged and not suitable for sale.
