Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Apple skin emits blue, green and red fluorescence under UV excitation.
- Observation Blue fluorescence in apple skin is independent of the ground colour of the excited site.
- Observation Apple skin red fluorescence has a maximum near 690 nm and a shoulder near 730 nm.
- Observation Green spectral fluorescence depends greatly on the ground colour of apple skin.
- Observation Green apple skin has a fluorescence maximum between 524 and 540 nm, depending on excitation wavelength.
- Observation Red apple skin emits fluorescence with a maximum between 600 and 613 nm.
- Observation Fluorescence of red apple skin is usually less intense than that of green skin.
- Observation Transitional apple skin frequently shows both fluorescence maxima.
- Observation Damaged apple skin shows a drastic increase in blue fluorescence under any of the three excitation wavelengths.
- Observation Fluorescence signals from damaged apple skin usually exceed the measuring range.
- Observation Damaged apple skin emits fluorescence over a wide spectrum.
