Nondestructive measurement of internal quality of Nanfeng mandarin fruit by charge coupled device near infrared spectroscopy

The soluble solids content (SSC) and total acidity (TA) are the major characteristics for assessing quality and maturity of Nanfeng mandarin fruits. The feasibility of charge coupled device near infrared spectroscopy (CCD-NIRS) combining with effective wavelengths selection algorithm used to measure SSC and TA nondestructively was investigated. The effective wavelengths to SSC and TA were chosen by interval partial least squares (iPLS) in the wavelength range of 600-980nm. The predictive ability of SSC model used PLS regression was improved with r of 0.92 and RMSEP of 0.65^oBrix using effective wavelengths of 681.36-740.51nm, 798.60-836.19nm and 945.52-962.75nm. The TA model was simplified with r of 0.64 and RMSEP of 0.09% using effective wavelengths of 817.57-836.19nm, 909.85-927.60nm and 945.52-962.75nm. The experimental results demonstrated that the CCD-NIRS technique combining with iPLS algorithm was a feasible method to measure SSC and TA of Nanfeng mandarin fruits nondestructively.
