Fruits are one of important agricultural products, the fruit industry is the third largest prop industry next to food and vegetables in the planting industry as a labor-intensive industry, the annual output reaches hundreds of millions of tons, and the fruit industry plays a very important role in national economy in China. The annual loss or waste of fruit in the world amounts to about 50% of the total yield, wherein the loss caused by improper picking period, overlong storage time, transportation damage and the like accounts for a large proportion. If a portable instrument capable of detecting the fruit maturity in real time in orchard, supermarket and other occasions is provided, fruit growers and dealers can reasonably judge the fruit harvesting period, shelf life and the like, and the current fruit loss situation can be effectively improved.
