Quality selection can also be carried out according to a series of parameters ranging from the toughness of the flesh, to the sweetness of the fruit down to skin defects, colour and grade. A standardised process leads to higher quality fruits being sold on the market, as only the fruit with the suitable characteristics is chosen.
