摘要

This study explored the application of a potassium permanganate (KMnO4)-based ethylene indicator to assess the freshness of bananas and kiwifruit, alongside the integration of deep learning for interpreting indicator responses. A mobile application was developed using a trained deep learning model for real-time fruit freshness detection. The KMnO4 concentrations in the indicator were 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0% (w/v), and the fruits were stored at 25  C for 10 days in polypropylene pouches containing the indicator. The highest correlation was observed between the ethylene concentration and color change in the 0.5% KMnO4 indicator. The ResNet50 model exhibited high accuracy in predicting the freshness of both fruits. The developed mobile application enabled rapid and accurate real-time detection of freshness by analyzing indicator images of fruit packaging. These results demonstrate that the KMnO4-based ethylene indicator is reliable for assessing the freshness of fruits, with mobile software offering a solution for rapid freshness evaluation.
