Abstract:The ripeness of tomatoes has a direct impact on their quality. This study aimed to develop mathematical models to determine and monitor tomato ripeness based on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. Three varieties of tomatoes (Alkazar, Lezginka, and Rosanchik) with five ripening stages (green, breaker, pink, light red, and red) were examined using chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. Chlorophyll fluorescence variables (Variable - Fv, maximum - Fm, initial - F0, and Fv/Fm ratio) were assessed at five stages of ma… Show more
