  • Abstract
    It is possible to non-destructively determine apple ripeness using a simple electronic nose. The instrument employs tin oxide resistive gas sensors and neural networks (fuzzy ARTMAP, LVQ and MLP) to classify the samples into three states of ripeness with 100% accuracy. Fuzzy ARTMAP was found to be the best classifier in the presence of simulated Gaussian noise
