Abstract
A low-mass impact sensor for high-speed firmness sensing of fruits was built and tested. Results of tests with a rubber ball indicated that the impact measurement was not sensitive to the distance between the impactor and the impacting surface of the sample within the range of 8 to 23 mm, and was not sensitive to how the sample was held. Tests with kiwifruits and peaches show good correlation between firmness readings obtained with the impact sensor and those obtained with the penetrometer. The best correlation was between the slope of the impact curve (at mid-point) and the force-deformation firmness. Preliminary test showed that the sensor could sense fruit firmness at a speed of 5 fruits/s.
