Fluorescence Tools for Sensing of Quality-Related Phytochemicals in Fruits and Vegetables

1.1.Aspects covered by the chapter 1.1.1.Fluorescence sensors mainly with mention of other laboratory fluorescence tools 1.1.2.Definition of phytochemicals detectable by fluorescence (direct measurement of fluorophores, indirect measurements of not fluorescence compounds through chlorophyll fluorescence detection). 1.1.3.Relationship between detectable phytochemicals and quality 1.1.4.Use of fluorescence on leaves to evaluate quality of produce (not plant status/stress, not leaf nitrogen) 1.1.5.Limitation to in situ measurements only
