According to a recent study from the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign’s Applied Research Institute, Apeel Sciences’ proprietary method of testing avocado ripeness is up to three times more accurate than current industry testing mechanisms. The durometer, pioneered for produce ripeness testing by the company, is an efficient and nondestructive alternative to testing avocado ripeness and is more consistent in testing ripe fruit, when compared to the existing method of using a penetrometer.
