Fruits have been known to release volatile organic compounds (VOC) throughout their lifecycle, a VOC measuring device has been applied to measure the freshness level. A banana, cocktail tomatoes and a yellow pepper were used as samples. Although a correlating trend between the samples could not be determined, the variance in measurement readings for each sample showed promising results.</p>}, journal={CMBES Proceedings}, author={Nino-Esparza, R. and Cameron, T. and Sampson, J. and Thibodeau, M. and Cayaoyao, T. and Ahmadi, A.}, year={2019}, month={May} }
