Abstract: This paper reports monitoring maturity in bananas using backscattering parameters. Bananas at different maturity stages 2 to 5 were stored at 13 °C. Light backscattering of intact fruit was measured using laser diode emitting at wavelength 660 nm. The effect of maturity on full width at half maximum (FWHM), radius of saturation (RSAT) and inflection point (IP) were analysed. There was an increase in the backscattering parameters as the maturity level increased. It was concluded that backscattering imaging is potentially useful in estimating maturity in bananas.
