A non-destructive, automated, fast and portable softness-measuring device is described. The non-destructivity of the meter was established. Factors that might influence variation in softness readings, e.g. temperature, RH, the point of compression on the fruit, sampling in the greenhouse, and fruit size were experimentally investigated.
