Thermal imaging technology monitors the temperature of fruits and vegetables before and after harvest. This helps reduce food waste and improve the quality of produce. In some environments, thermal imaging can replace old-school thermometers.
The research discusses how thermal imaging technology works by detecting temperature variations. This allows farmers and produce handlers to identify fruits and vegetables starting to spoil. Early action, such as storing produce in cooler conditions, can reduce spoilage.
Thermal imaging is a noninvasive technique, which means that it does not damage the produce. This is an important advantage over traditional methods of temperature monitoring, such as using spot thermometers, which can damage delicate fruits and vegetables.
Thermal imaging is also more efficient than traditional methods for monitoring temperature. A thermal imaging camera can scan a large area of produce in a short amount of time. This is in contrast to spot thermometers, which can only measure the temperature of a small number of fruits or vegetables at a time.
In conclusion, thermal imaging technology is a promising new tool for the produce industry. It can reduce food waste, improve produce quality, and save time and money.
