N2  - The main task of this research is to apply laser backscattering technology to simultaneously predict variations in moisture content and hardness of apples during drying. The backscattering area in pixel numbers, representing the illuminated area after laser light injection, and light luminescence measured by grey values were used for estimating changes in internal quality parameters during drying. Laser light measurement at 635 nm was found to be adequate for predicting changes in moisture content and SSC of apple during drying over different stages. On the contrary, photon scattering at 635 nm is not recommended as estimator of change in hardness during apple drying, based on the results.
