SIMULATION ANALYSIS OF STONE FRUIT TISSUE VIA MONTE CARLO


The Monte Carlo (MC) approach was used to predict how light penetrates stone fruit tissue. Peaches served as the model stone fruit representation. The impact of the fruit's skin and core on the peaches' light transport characteristics was evaluated. To correctly model light propagation in intact stone fruit, it is advised that the skin, meat, and core be taken into consideration independently with various parameters. The detection efficiency was measured using the sensitivity of the flesh tissue and the proportion of effective photons. The detection efficacy is reduced by the fruit peel, particularly in the vicinity of the occurrence site. The selection of the source intensity, detection angle, and source-detector distance were discussed. Accurate MC simulations might help achieve the best fruit quality assessment without requiring lengthy experimental observations and provide a better understanding of how light propagates in stone fruit.
