TL;DR: A wide range of indices based on mathematical expressions of the physical and mechanical properties of fruit, the bruised portion and the energy of the handling system causing the damage have been proposed and applied to quantify the intensity or potential to damage for different commodities and even for the same commodity as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is suggested that pomegranate fruit peel could be exploited as a potential source of natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents as well as tyrosinase inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the current status and applications of modified atmosphere packaging in whole fruit and minimally processed pomegranate arils and identify future prospects, including the utilization of lower-grade fruit with superficial peel defects such as; cracks, splits, and sunburnt.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the physical and compositional changes as well as antioxidant properties of pomegranate fruit at five distinct maturity stages between 54 and 139 days after full bloom (DAFB).

TL;DR: In this article, the use of other non-destructive techniques for assessing internal and external quality of thick rind fruit, such as hyperspectral and multispectral imaging systems, X-ray micro-computed tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance and Raman spectroscopy, is discussed.
