Abstract: The country's economy grows faster as a result of automation. Additionally, automation is beneficial to micro,
small, medium, and large size industries. Our nation's export market is one of the tops for fruit exports. Because there is
less understanding of effective quality products in developing countries, diseases caused by contaminated fruits and vege-
tables have been on the rise. Fruits' external attributes, such as color, shape, and size, are considered their sensory charac-
teristics. The Adriano microcontroller, which runs this system, controls how the sensors are used. It describes the dielec-
tric experiments conducted for fruits in detail and in chronological order, along with the relevant sensing apparatus, ana-
lytical modeling techniques, and results. Utilizing this approach, eating of low-quality fruit

1. Introduction
Quality is described as "the property or set of inherent something, you can judge their worth" by the Spanish Royal Acade-
my. Fruit quality in 2006 was divided into internal and external quality criteria by Choi and his coworkers. External characteris-
tics include the slide show, the look; the Fruit's consistency, maturity, and freshness are external factors, while its flavour, tex-
ture, and price are internal aspects, scent, nutrition, and absence of biotic and abiotic contaminants. In addition, the authors
claimed that although though customers are not aware of internal factors, they are quite significant in comparison to exterior
factors, which are thought to be the key determinants of purchase decisions. The demand for high-quality produce is growing as
a result of the significant increase in horticulture consumption, which has created a vibrant post-harvest market for fresh fruit
and vegetables. There is a current tendency to highlight the benefits of including vegetables in your diet. Since it is considered
that the components of vegetables have the ability to change the complex mechanisms involved in maintaining a healthy physi-
ology and reducing the early onset of age-dependent disorders, the demand for agricultural goods like vegetables and fruits is
booming. Sensors that seem to be mechanical, acoustic, and optical assess fruit quality have been developed in response to ris-
ing consumer demand for premium fruit. Shaw felt asserts that the interior qualities observable through the senses of touch,
taste, and smell, the other features, such nutrition value, wholesomeness, and safety, cannot be compared to non-ideal capaci-
tors when evaluating energy easily accessed by customers. These characteristics, which are referred to as dielectric properties,
are caused by energy charging and loss currents associated with the material's resistance and electrical capacitance. A simple
resistive-capacitive circuit's electrical behaviour in biological materials at high frequency does differ slightly from that of con-
duction, however. due to the migration of charge carriers. According to Sabatier and Edson Given that a material's relative
magnetic loss is correlated with its reluctance and ability to dissipate magnetic energy, the components of the complex relative
permeability are estimated by dividing the components of the complex permeability by the permeability of empty space, or
1.257 106 H/m. Alternatively, since the relative magnetic permeability of fruits and vegetables is close to unity, it is required to
take into account the consequences of magnetic coupling at high frequencies (magnetic permeability close to that of free space
and zero relative magnetic loss) The capability of a substance to attenuate or absorb electrical energy coupled by the material
from an electromagnetic field is determined by the real component, which is also the main factor of energy distribution in ho-
mogeneous dielectric materials. A technological advancement has accompanied the quest for better food quality. This fact in-
creases the likelihood that horticulture goods will be of higher quality, resulting in healthier fruit and vegetable intake. For this,
a more accurate electrical characterization of the dielectric characteristics of fruits and vegetables is needed. A concentrated
study of improved dielectric sensing and dielectric spectroscopy is also a very fascinating topic.
2. Literature survey
A. R. Guesalaga and E. Agosin announced the creation of a noninvasive device that is intended to assess sugar (Brix), pH,
and anthocyanin concentration—three indices of ripeness—in wine grapes. The gadget, which uses near-infrared spectroscopy,
touches the berry in the cluster without affecting how it ripens. The calibration procedure for the device is thoroughly described
for the many grape varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Using partial
least squares methods, samples from Chile's Maipo Valley grapes collected for the creation of calibration models were ex-
amined during the 2003 growing season. The models were validated using R2 indices and root mean square error of validation.
