“…As such, these compounds have a close association with the fruit's taste. As stated by Zhu et al (), variations in the water status succeeding coloring are crucial in the determination of the texture and taste of sweet cherry fruits. Furthermore, they investigated that NMR parameters indicated strong correlation with physical and chemical data during storage processing.…”

“…LF‐NMR was utilized to investigate the water division and dynamics in sweet cherries throughout storage at different temperatures. Sweet cherry softening strongly interrelated with water loss during preservation at low temperatures (Zhu et al, ). They also assessed the influence of freezing conditions on the water distribution of blueberries and other quality parameters (Cao, Zhang, Zhao, Zhu, & Li, ).…”

This paper provides an overview of nondestructive imaging techniques for evaluating internal and external quality characteristics of fruits and vegetables and the future prospects of those technologies within the food industry. Low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF‐NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are viable technologies in assessing water status, which can significantly impact the quality of fruits and vegetables' texture, tenderness, and microstructure. This review examined some of the most widely studied agricultural fruits and vegetables, described NMR/MRI techniques, and explained the benefits of their implementation in the assessment of internal quality attributes such as internal defects, water content, nutrition content, maturity, fruit firmness, and seed detection, as well as physicochemical and microbiological quality in both commercial and industrial applications. In spite of considerable developments in the quality measurement of fruits and vegetables and their products, the implementation of these techniques at an industrial level has been unsatisfactory. Practical applications This paper aimed to present a magnificent knowledge about fruit/vegetable processing and preservation techniques pertaining to quality evaluation. If the appropriate skills and the introduced tools are combined and utilized in an innovative and suitable way, a high quality of fruit/vegetable products with a high nutritional value can be achieved. This will be beneficial for both producers and customers.

“…Moreover, the weight loss rate of fruits stored at low temperature was lower than that of fruits stored at room temperature. This may be attributed to the improved preservation of free water at low temperatures (Zhu et al, ). Our findings indicate that the storage duration can be extended up to 20–30 days, and that the appearance of the fruits can be preserved at low temperatures.…”

The olecranon honey peach is a new variety of peach with high consumer value in China. However, it softens and rots rapidly after harvest, which is difficult to store and transport, and requires specific handling and storage. Thus, we evaluated three pretreatment strategies to preserve quality—5% of calcium chloride, ethylene adsorbent, and hot water treatments—followed by storage at room (28–35°C) or low temperature (1–3°C), measured physical and chemical indices, and the sensory appeal of the fruit during storage. Free and nonmobile water contents were also determined using low‐field NMR. Treatment with ethylene adsorbent and storage at low temperatures effectively preserved peach flavor, aroma, and appearance, and extended shelf life for up to 30 days after harvest. Fruit hardness was 4.5 kg/cm2, soluble solid content was 10% and 92% of the peaches retained their sensory appeal. Overall, this optimum preservation strategy has minimal effects on consumer value. Practical applications Several studies have reported that peaches soften and rot rapidly after harvest, making storage and transportation difficult. The olecranon honey peach is a new variety of peach with distinct storage and preservation requirements. As it is a new variety, handling and storage strategies need to be optimized for efficient preservation. Our results demonstrated that treatment with an ethylene absorbent followed by low‐temperature storage preserves peach flavor, aroma, and appearance. Furthermore, shelf life was extended for up to 30 days after harvest. Thus, we had identified the ideal pretreatment and storage strategy for the preservation of olecranon honey peaches without affecting sensory appeal and commercial value.

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a highly valued fruit, whose quality can be evaluated using several objective methodologies, such as calibre, colour, texture, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), as well as maturity indexes. Functional and nutritional compounds are also frequently determined, in response to consumer demand. The aim of the present review is to clarify and establish quality evaluation parameters and methodologies for the whole cherry supply chain, in order to promote easy and faithful communication among all stakeholders. The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a non-destructive and expeditious method for assessing some quality parameters is discussed. In this review, the results of a wide survey to assess the most common methodologies for cherry quality evaluation, carried out among cherry researchers and producers within the framework of the COST Action FA1104 'Sustainable production of high-quality cherries for the European market', are also reported. The standardisation of quality evaluation parameters is expected to contribute to the preservation and shelf-life extension of sweet cherries, and the valorisation of the whole supply chain. For future studies on sweet cherry, we put forward a proposal regarding both sample size and the tests chosen to evaluate each parameter.
