Popis: This article is a review of the magnetic resonance (MR)-based technologies that have been used for non-destructive quality assessment of fruits. The potential of these MR-based methods for commercial applications such as sorting or labelling is discussed. Although nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been demonstrated to be quite effective for non-destructive characterization and quality evaluation of fruits, they have found only limited applications in current industrial and commercial applications. The limitations of the current MRI methodologies, and the technologies under development that have the potential to overcome these limitations, are also discussed. This review is limited to applications of MRI/NMR to non-invasive studies of fruits, with potential for industrial applications, and does not include applications of MRI/ NMR to vegetables, cereals and processed food items.
