Introduction
The F-750 Handheld Brix & Dry Matter Meter uses Deep Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to estimate Dry
Matter, Brix (Total Soluble Solids), and assess fruit maturity and skin color. It delivers the stability,
repeatability, and precision that is necessary for successful chemometric-based measurements in a
portable easy-to-use package.
The F-750 aids agricultural suppliers in developing a fruit maturity and sweetness management process
for the benefit of growers, processors, and consumers.
Harvesting immature fruit has a high impact on fruit eating quality. Judging fruit maturity by shape and
color alone results in varying success. The F-750 solves this issue with its simple user interface and
precise measurements. It comes equipped with GPS for spatial mapping, enabling users to generate
orchard-wide maps of fruit parameters, such as planning for harvest sequences and improving crop
management techniques.
“For quantitative analysis of complex samples, fast and inexpensive spectroscopic methods are
preferable to the slow, expensive, and destructive "wet chemical" approach. Historically, one
disadvantage of spectroscopic methods has been the difficulty of determining frequency regions where
the constituent of interest selectively interacts with light. Now with the power of multivariate
techniques such as Partial Least Squares, we can use the spectra (X) to predict the concentration of the
constituent of interest (Y), with accuracy approaching that of wet chemistry.”
