Description :

Quality control systems are quickly gaining a foothold in food manufacturing facilities making optical monitoring of fresh and processed agricultural crops a valuable resource for agricultural technicians and developers working to maintain nutritional product value and approaching a fine tuned control process in the crop supply chain. Optical monitoring of fresh and processed agricultural crops doi link for optical monitoring of fresh and processed agricultural crops optical monitoring of fresh and processed agricultural crops book subjects engineering technology food science technology share citation get citation zude m ed 2009. A number of sensing technologies are used in precision agriculture providing data that helps farmers monitor and optimize crops as well as adapt to changing environmental factors including location sensors use signals from gps satellites to determine latitude longitude and altitude to within feet. Also precision agriculture is considered a smart farming system on the basis of modern technologies to regulate examine and manage changes inside an agricultural field for cost effectiveness . Colour is an important quality attribute in the food and bioprocess industries and it influences consumers choice and preferences food colour is governed by the chemical biochemical microbial and physical changes which occur during growth maturation postharvest handling and processing colour measurement of food products has been used as an indirect measure of other quality attributes
