Аннотация:The necessity of express control of fruit quality has been substantiated. The problems that arise during express control of fruit quality by various methods have been identified. A method for quality control of fruits using laser radiation is proposed. A dependence at change to degree at coherence of spatial on the structure of defects on the surface at various fruits has will investigated. The results of the study of various defects on the surface of fruits, hardness, and the degree of their ripening during storage are presented.
