    Abstract :

    In food industry, internal and external quality of fruits play an important role, which is evaluatedby their colour, texture and defects. In recent years, detection of internal defects in food products is achallenging task. The present research is based on detection of internal defects in fruits during post-harvestperiod which is being looked along with various remedies that have been suggested and implemented. Ourspecific focus has been on Mangoes, with all kinds of defects such as, diseases physiological disorders anddamage due to pests. However, to understand the various detection techniques, other fruits are also of ourinterest. Implications of such commercially available non-destructive methods along with comparisons arepresented. Some of the challenges being faced by the present researchers along with various standards which are emerging in this area are also discussed. Various performance measures which are being considered by the researchers are enumerated leading
