Besides, the thorough characterization of the mushrooms
freshness involves performing several replicates, due to the
inherent variance between different slices of mushrooms. At this
point, the authors considered the advantages of using a commercial
scanner to record the image of several slices at the same time and,
later, process the image using the appropriate software. Several
authors have used this technique to characterize food products,
showing comprehensive, accurate and reproducible scientific data
