Abstract: This article described the reflection spectral Characteristics of tomato fruit surface and the correlationship of the reflection at 565nm with respect to the fruit lycopene content. This effort formed the theoretical base to develop an in-situ method for the lycopene detection on tomato fruit.

Key words: reflection spectrum, lycopene, in-situ analysis
