Abstract
The development of translucency is a common alteration in the appearance of fresh-cut fleshy tissue after processing, which renders the product unappealing for consumption. It is of interest for the fresh-cut industry to be able to assess the development of translucency and then evaluate the effect of different procedures in its occurrence and intensity. This paper presents the use of Kubelka-Munk analysis, a technique of widespread use in other fields like printing and painting, to assess the development of translucency in sliced tomato and to study how this process is affected by storage temperature and maturity stage of the fruit.
