Abstract
This study examined the development and trends in non-destructive testing technology for fruit quality. The status of the research field and the application hotspots were investigated to provide a reference for future research in this field. Relevant studies on the non-destructive testing of fruit quality published between 1993 and 2022 were identified in the core database Web of Science. The temporal distribution, spatial distribution, literature features, research progress, and leading research hotspots were quantified and visualised using bibliometrics. The findings revealed that there continues to be active research and publications on non-destructive testing technology for fruit quality, with a good development trend. China and the USA are the major contributors to research on non-destructive testing technology for fruit quality. The major research institutions include Zhejiang University and the United States Department of Agriculture. The major papers are published in Postharvest Biology and Technology and Acta Horticulturae, among others. These studies mainly focus on agriculture, food, and gardening, among other topics. The detection indices mainly concern internal quality, such as sugar degree and soluble solids, and apparent quality, such as hardness. The detection technologies mainly include electronic nose (E-nose) technology, machine vision technology, and spectral detection technology. In the future, technological developments in artificial intelligence and deep learning will further promote the maturation and application of non-destructive testing technologies for fruit quality.
