- Abstract
Grading is an ancient technique for selecting and separating high-quality, desirable products to increase the profit margin. Considering the importance of grader in food industry several types of graders, such as belt graders, weight graders, roller graders, image-based graders, and automated sensor-based graders, have been developed over time. However, the selection of grader and its efficiency mainly depends upon the grading mechanism and product to be graded. Grading operation consists of different mechanical operations and that can be improved with the use of artificial intelligence. Traditional graders having certain limitations such as less efficiency, high mechanical injury, higher instrumentation and maintenance cost. Whereas the modern grader with the artificial intelligence having less mechanical injury and more efficiency compared to traditional grading systems. Considering the importance of grader in food industry the present review summarized the different grader used in fruits and vegetables industry based on working principles, product suitability, and input/output capacity, and their limitation and advantages.
