This article is a comprehensive review of the use of multispectral imaging combined with chemometrics to determine the composition and quality of various plant-based foods; cereals (wheat, maize), legumes (soybean, peanut), tubers (potato, sweet potato), fruits (apple, pear, kiwi), and vegetables (white radish, sugar beet). The method is rapid and can give a visualisation of for example the distribution fructose, glucose and sucrose in unripe and ripe fruit. Future developments should make it a useful industrial tool to control raw materials and production.
