Abstract:This study aims to use the method of laser reflection from the surface of strawberry fruits to classify different strawberry defects to facilitate the process of sorting the fruits during the handling process. The study was conducted on exposing the strawberry fruits (festival variety) by laser radiation with wavelengths of 543.5 and 632.8 nm, after dividing the fruits into six groups according to strawberry defects, to measure the amounts of reflected radiation and generated electricity. The results obtained were the following: a) For the physical and chemical properties of strawberry fruits: It was found that there is no dispersion in (height, width, length, volume, weight, total soluble solids (Brix) and the pH value of the fruits).
