Desert Salon 9-10 (Desert Springs J.W Marriott Resort )
Michael McCarthy, University of California, Davis, CA
Nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging provide complementary measurements of sample properties when compared with other experimental techniques.  NMR/MRI based analyses have been historically limited to laboratory settings and only recently have begun to be utilized in remote geographical and industrial settings.  The advances permitting NMR/MRI to be utilized in these new settings are driven by hardware and software innovations.  These advances in hardware/software will be described by examples of the implementation of MRI/NMR for fruit quality measurements.
