FELIX INSTRUMENTS at International Mango Symposium, July 10-16

Felix Instruments- Applied Food Science participates at the International Mango Symposium 2017 with Zealquest to demonstrate instruments useful to the mango industry. Felix Instruments’ owner, Leonard Felix, has the F-750 Produce Quality Meter available for demonstration. The F-750 Produce Quality Meter is an instrument that takes non-destructive measurements of internal qualities, like sugar and dry matter, in fruit using NIR (Near Infrared) spectroscopy. As featured in the Fall Edition of Mango Matters magazine, the F-750 Produce Quality Meter is a valuable tool with a  long and successful history as a non-destructive tool for determining mango maturity and optimizing harvest timing. Felix Instruments- Applied Food Science, partnered with Central Queensland University, is also unveiling a demonstration for Fruit Maps; the world’s first free Fruit Maturity Application.  With years of research and calibration, Felix Instruments- Applied Food Science is proud to offer this new application to farmers and users of the F-750 Produce Quality Meter, proven valuable in predicting maturity and peak harvest dates. Felix Instruments will also feature the F-940 Store It! Gas Analyzer - a handheld tool that measures ethylene, CO2, and O2. The ‘Store It!’ was designed for Quality Assurance staff to increase shelf-life and prevent spoilage by taking rapid and reliable measurements of ripening gases throughout the storage process. International Mango Symposium attendees interested in learning more about Felix Instruments can find their table along with their Chinese distributor, Zealquest, at the show from July 10th-16th.
