Lower prices, and greater availability of year-round products, in tandem with increasing incomes, have enhanced the array of fruits and vegetables in the global consumer’s basket of goods. On the other hand, despite advances in electronic sorting systems, fruit and vegetable quality inspection is still largely a manual operation using simple tools such as color charts and national standards based on appearance and feel. Recently, quite a lot of research work has been published on rapid and nondestructive measurement of fruit and vegetable quality, using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy . NIR is characterized by a relatively high light penetration inside fruits that allows quantitative analysis of various physicochemical characteristics. Despite its importance in terms of production and trade, there is relatively scant information available on the rapid and nondestructive measurement of tomato quality, particularly for simultaneous analysis of various quality parameters .
