Developing an Automatic Color Determination Procedure for the Quality Assessment of Mangos (Mangifera indica) Using a CCD Camera and Color Standards.

ABSTRACT: Color is one of the key sensory characteristics in the evaluation of the quality of mangos (Mangifera indica) especially with regard to determining the optimal level of ripeness. However, an objective color determination of entire fruits can be a challenging task. Conventional evaluation methods such as colorimetric or spectrophotometric procedures are primarily limited to a homogenous distribution of the color. Accordingly, a direct assessment of the mango quality with regard to color requires more pronounced color determination procedures. In this study, the color of the peel and the pulp of the mango cultivars "Nam Dokmai", "Mahachanok", and "Kent" was evaluated and categorized into various levels of ripeness using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera in combination with a computer visi
