In order to provide a quality evaluation apparatus having excellent measurement accuracy in obtaining quality evaluation values of fruits and vegetables, transmitted light from one or more measured objects is received by a photo-detective sensor of the charge storage type, charges are stored in the photo-detective sensor until a predetermined charge storage time lapses from start of the charge storage, a charge storage discharge process is repeatedly executed for releasing the charges stored in the photo-detective sensor until lapse of a predetermined discharge time, the stored charges are released when the measured object reach a position for measurement, and a measurement charge storage process is executed for storing charges to be used as photo-detective information for quality evaluation.
