Abstract

A device, and a method of use, for non-destructive detection of bruises and rotten zones in fruits and vegetables 6 comprises an illuminating device 7 comprising a source 1 of infrared radiation having a low band of wavelengths, and a source 2 of infrared radiation having a high band of wavelengths separated from said low band. The infrared beams are arranged to be collinear and the sources 1 and 2 alternately illuminate the object 6. A radiometric sensor 3 converts a power of radiation transmitted through the object 6 into electronic signals, and a device 5 for processing electronic signals from the radiometric sensor produces an index of defectiveness from the power transmitted through a fruit 6 in the low band and in the high band. A support 8 for the object 6 may be a conveyor.
