Qualitative analysis of Fruits and Vegetables using Earth’s Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (EFNMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Abstract

Among the imaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-contact and a non-invasive technique to obtain images of the objects rich in water content and provides an excellent tool to study variation of contrast among the soft issues. It often utilizes a linear magnetic field gradient to obtain an image that combines the visualization of molecular structure and dynamics. It measures the characteristics of hydrogen nuclei of water and nuclei with similar chemical shifts, modified by chemical environment across the object. In the present work, MRI of fresh tomatoes has been recorded using Terranova-MRI for qualitative analysis. The technique is effective, powerful and reliable as an investigative tool in the quality analysis and diagnosis of infections in fruits and vegetables.
