Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most popular and nutritionally rich fruits. It is also acknowledged as the king of fruits in India. Quality attributes of mango fruit depends on its appearances such as size, shape, skin colour, flesh colour, flavour, sweetness, and aroma. Over the recent years, non-destructive techniques have been garnering the interest of researchers as potential technologies that can be used for quality assessment of fruits in a part of postharvest processing. The present patterns of non-destructive techniques are more efficient, inexpensive, yield faster and accurate results. This mini review paper focuses on some of the previous applications of non-destructive techniques in quality evaluation of mango, focusing specifically on the non-destructive technique based on quality parameters. The future trend of using non-destructive techniques for quality evaluation is also discussed in this review paper.

The effect of applying Ca++ in two forms: infiltration and dipping on mango fruit cv `Haden' was investigated. This effect was evaluated by measuring some quality parameters in the flesh and in the skin of the fruit. It was found that postharvest application of Ca++ extent the storage life of the fruit by a week. This fact, together with the results obtained from the quantification of sugars, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids alcohol. insoluble solids, starch and titrable acidity seem to indicate that the application of Ca++ delays slightly the process associated with ripeness. Furthermore, no significant difference between the two forms of Ca++ applied was found, except for the amount of ascorbic acid and total sugar. Finally, dipping application of Ca++ is easier than infiltration and it is therefore suggested.

AbstractMultispectral imaging is a new technology that is being deployed to assess seed quality parameters. Examples of applications in the detection and identification of fungi on seeds are presented, together with an example of the technology used for maturity determination in sugar beet seed. Results from multispectral imaging are compared with reference methods, and a high correlation is found. Applications of the technique for varietal discrimination and insect damage are also presented. There is a need for non-destructive, reliable and fast techniques, and it is concluded that multispectral imaging has potential for seed quality assessment, in particular for those components associated with surface structure and chemical composition, seed colour, morphology and size.

Technology which will be develoved on this study is aimed  to detect the maturity of the optimum mango to reduce the risk of mangoes that decay before the distribution is by utilizing LDR-based color sensor technology (Light Dependent Resistor). Where the principle works that is when given light on the surface of the skin of mango fruit then the light will be reproduced captured by the sensor and pass through the filter then if the same color then the filter will absorb the light. The results obtained that mango detected maturity level using LDR more efficient and accurate where mango has optimum maturity level has an output voltage interval of 150.68 mV - 155.45 mV. Where this technology is expected to increase mango productivity in Indonesia so as to increase exports to other countries that can support the world of agriculture.

Pathogenic fungi, as Botryosphaeriaceae family, can penetrate during flowering and endophytically colonize the stem of mango fruit (Mangifera indica) without causing any visible symptoms. Those fungi become active during abiotic stress or fruit ripening and cause stem and inflorescence dieback or fruit stem-end rot (SER). We hypothesized that antifungal treatments during the main event of Botryosphaeriaceae penetration would reduce the disease. Initially, we showed that treatments with Switch [fludioxonil and cyprodinil] during orchard flowering (cv. Keitt and Shelly) reduced the occurrence of pathogenic fungi in the fruit stem end and significantly reduced fruit's SER. As mango orchards are sprayed weekly against powdery mildew during flowering, we combined two treatments against powdery mildew with two treatments against both powdery mildew and SER-causing pathogens. Application of biological treatments of Serenade [Bacillus subtilis] or chemical treatments of Luna Tranquility [fluopyram and pyrimethanil] or Switch during flowering in 'Shelly' and 'Keitt' mango orchards significantly reduced inflorescence/stem dieback (up to 50%) and fruit drop and significantly increased the number of fruit per tree, which led to a significant increase in yield, up to 41%, in heavily infected orchards. In addition, this application during flowering (March–April) affected postharvest fruit quality (August–September) by a significant (p<0.005) reduction of incidence and severity of stem-end rots and even fruit side rot, without affecting fruit ripening and other quality parameters. While all fungicides were effective, the chemical fungicides were more effective than the biological fungicide. Thus, changing the powdery mildew fungicide regime to control also the Botryosphaeriaceae penetration during mango orchard flowering, led to reduced inflorescence/stem dieback, reduced fruit drop, increase in yield, and minimize postharvest decay.

Abstract Through Silicon Via (TSV) is the most promising technology for vertical interconnection in novel three-dimensional chip architectures. Reliability and quality assessment necessary for process development and manufacturing require appropriate non-destructive testing techniques to detect cracks and delamination defects with sufficient penetration and imaging capabilities. The current paper presents the application of two acoustically based methods operating in the GHz-frequency band for the assessment of the integrity of TSV structures.
