| Summary: | This project present a study of non-destructive testing implementation in the agricultural industry to ease the farmers or other related bodies in estimating the mature stages of fruits before it harvested and ship out for market. The growth of technology needed in agricultural industry to simplify works, make it efficient and fast. This matter to avoid any time consuming, lake of harvesting knowledge and wrong stage of harvest than lead to fast rotten. The increase in the demand of fruits throughout the world makes a tense situation of fruits providers not just mango provider but also other type of fruits. Since demand increase an efficient way to harvest is important to avoid early mature fruit which by the time it reach consumer it rotten out. Ultrasonic technology is the efficient way to be implemented on fruits since it will not destroy the fruits wholly. Ultrasonic technique can be used to correlate different characteristic physiologically and chemically of fruits and it is not strictly to fruits but also can be tested on vegetables. The main parameter of ultrasonic that needs to be focus on was the attenuation coefficient which the absorption or scattering effect feels by the wave when it propagate through a medium. Therefore a study on ultrasonic is needed to help the growth of agricultural industry |
