This video explains the principles of NIR (Near Infra Red) spectroscopy in the case of Nx:
We use 2 specific nm (nanometer) light range ranges / gratings to read and measure NDI and SCI separately.
And all this done within a 90x25x17 mm container in 4 secs - the benefits of spectrometers used to measure produ
Operating the Nx:
1. Hold against apple, as Nx's accuracy is sensitive to distance.
2. Switch on Nx, by pressing button (under thumb).
3. The system loads, shines bright white light onto/into the apple.
4. The NDI (Nutrient Density Index) is then displayed. (Apologies, but our first video - will be improved)
5. Nx has an auto-scan feature allowing you to move rapidly onto next scan.
The last scan read 40, the highest, therefore the most delicious., nutritious - the one to pick!
Operating the Nxi :
1. Similar to Nx.
2. But displays 3 readings:
a. NDI
b. SCI, and
c. the SCI/NDI ratio, for those wishing either:
i) "sweetness" ( a high SCI/NDI ratio) or
ii) "natural flavours" (a low SCI/NDI ratio).
GMO is one reason for a high SCI/NDI ratio, see here for a food scientist opinion in 2024, when Nx first discovered this.
PLU stickers (if on item) indicate if produce is :
The Nx range (NDI only)
The Nxi range (NDI, SCI and the SCI/NDI Ratio)
Nx and Nxi are our 10th and 11th evolutions of the NutriMeter since 2010, when we first improved on the basic BRIX meter offering. There is a high correlation between Nx and BRIX values and International Ratings of poor, average, good or excellent for some 450 varieties of produce.
