Soluble solid content (SSC) is regarded as the most significant internal quality associated with the taste and maturity in fruits. Evaluating the relationship between the optical properties and soluble sugars facilitates exploration of the mechanism of optical techniques in SSC assessment. In this research, absorption coefficient (μa) and reduced scattering coefficient (μ′s) of Fuji apple during storage were obtained using automatic integrating sphere (AIS) at 905–1650 nm. Relationships between μa, μ′s and SSC, and soluble sugars contents, were investigated. The result showed that SSC, the content of total soluble sugars (TSS), fructose, glucose and sucrose were all decreasing after storage, and the same trend appeared in the change of μa and μ′s. In the whole wavelength range, both μa and μ′s were positively related to SSC and soluble sugars contents. The correlations between μa and SSC, and soluble sugars contents, showed increasing tendencies with increasing wavelengths, while for μ′s, correlations had the opposite trend. The strongest correlations between μa and SSC, and soluble sugars contents, were observed in the correlation of μa with sucrose, with an r of 0.934. Furthermore, a partial least square (PLS) model for sucrose based on μa was built with the coefficient of determination of prediction (Rp2) and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.851 and 1.047, respectively. The overall results demonstrate that optical properties at the range of 905–1650 nm could be used to evaluate SSC of apples and this may due to the strong correlation between sucrose content and μa.

Hyperspectral imaging technology is a powerful tool for non-destructive quality assessment of fruits. The objective of this research was to develop novel calibration model based on hyperspectral imaging to estimate soluble solid content (SSC) of starfruits. A hyperspectral imaging system, which consists of a near infrared  camera, a spectrograph V10, a halogen lighting and a conveyor belt system, was used in this study to acquire hyperspectral  images of the samples in visible and near infrared (500-1000 nm) regions. Partial least square (PLS) was used to build the model and to find the optimal wavelength. Two different masks were applied for obtaining the spectral data. The optimal wavelengths were evaluated using multi linear regression (MLR). The coefficient of determination (R2) for validation using the model with first mask (M1) and second mask (M2) were 0.82 and 0.80, respectively.

Customers pay significant attention to the organoleptic and physicochemical attributes of their food with the improvement of their living standards. In this work, near infrared hyperspectral technology was used to evaluate the one-color parameter, a*, firmness, and soluble solid content (SSC) of Korla fragrant pears. Moreover, iteratively retaining informative variables (IRIV) and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) were applied together to construct evaluating models for their quality parameters. A set of 200 samples was chosen and its hyperspectral data were acquired by using a hyperspectral imaging system. Optimal spectral preprocessing methods were selected to obtain out partial least square regression models (PLSRs). The results show that the combination of multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and Savitsky-Golay (S-G) is the most effective spectral preprocessing method to evaluate the quality parameters of the fruit. Different characteristic wavelengths were selected to evaluate the a* value, the firmness, and the SSC of the Korla fragrant pears, respectively, after the 6 iterations. These values were obtained via IRIV and the reverse elimination method. The correlation coefficients of the validation set of the a* value, the firmness, and the SSC measure 0.927, 0.948, and 0.953, respectively. Furthermore, the values of the regression error weight, γ, and the kernel function parameter, σ2, for the same parameters measure (8.67 × 104, 1.21 × 103), (1.45 × 104, 2.93 × 104), and (2.37 × 105, 3.80 × 103), respectively. This study demonstrates that the combination of LS-SVM and IRIV can be used to evaluate the a* value, the firmness, and the SSC of Korla fragrant pears to define their grade.

Rheological parameters of Juniperus drupacea fruit pekmez were evaluated using a rotational viscometer at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 °C and at concentrations of 62.8, 68.9, 72.0, and 75.2% total soluble solids. The flow characteristics of Juniperus drupacea fruit pekmez were described by the power law and Herschel—Bulkley models. The Herschel—Bulkley model was found to be the best to describe the rheological property with the coefficient of determination higher than 0.993. Juniperus drupacea pekmez exhibited a time-independent shear thickening behavior. The effect of temperature on viscosity can be described by means of an Arrhenius equation. Depending on the soluble solid contents, the activation energies for flow of diluted samples vary from 78.23 to 60.38 kJ/mol. The effect of soluble solids on viscosity can be described by an exponential equation. Experimental data were fitted to several models in order to describe the effect of temperature and soluble solid content. The combined effect of temperature and soluble solid content on viscosity was also formulated.

Abstract Crop post-harvest quality model is designed to dynamically and accurately simulate the quality change process. In this study, the relationship between morphological indices and fruit quality (external quality and internal quality) were quantitatively simulated, and the post-harvest quality and quality evaluation value simulation model were established for the first time with standardized stress accumulated temperature (\({\text{S}\text{t}\text{a}\text{n}}_{\text{S}\text{A}\text{T}}\)). The results showed: 1) There were significant linear relationships between the fresh weight and the volume, the darker value and the color value, the tan H and the color value, and the water content and the soluble solid content. There was a significant quadratic relationship between fruit density and fruit shape index. There was a significant logarithmic relationship between the tan H and the darker value. 2) The quality indices, including quality evaluation value, darkness value, color value, darker value, shape index, tan H and density, showed a linear change trend with \({\text{S}\text{t}\text{a}\text{n}}_{\text{S}\text{A}\text{T}}\). The soluble solid content showed a quadratic function variation trend with \({\text{S}\text{t}\text{a}\text{n}}_{\text{S}\text{A}\text{T}}\). 3) For each quality index, normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) of each quality index and its evaluation simulation model based on \({\text{S}\text{t}\text{a}\text{n}}_{\text{S}\text{A}\text{T}}\) were from 1.58 % to 17.85 %, which showed the post-harvest quality index and quality evaluation simulation have high accuracy. Generally, the model could systematically and quantitatively express the dynamic process of post-harvest quality of cucumber.

The efficacy of postharvest hot-dip treatment on Redblush grapefruit was investigated by 3-min dips in water at 50°C and 20°C, with and without 1500 ppm imazalil (IMZ) or thiabendazole (TBZ). Fruits were stored for 16 weeks in cold rooms at 8°C and then held at 20°C for 1 week to simulate shelf life. IMZ and TBZ treatment at 20°C considerably reduced the incidence of chilling injury (by about 50-60%) and the percentage (by 20%) of fungal infections. The effectiveness of the two fungicides was found to be considerably increased at 50°C. However, the beneficial effect of hot-dip treatment was noted, whether or not associated with the use of fungicides. The chilling index was threefold lower in fruit dipped in water at 50°C. Similar results were obtained by IMZ treatment and mold decay was decreased by about 50%. IMZ treatment at 50°C proved to be phytotoxic, thus resulting in reddish peel pitting, starting on the fourth week of storage. No further detrimental heat-related effect was detected in the remaining cases. Fruit treated with the two fungicides exhibited no significant differences in respiration rate under cold storage, when compared to control. By contrast, by the end of shelf life, sharply increased values were found in fruit treated with IMZ at 20°C. Endogenous ethylene production and internal quality attributes (juice%, total soluble solid content, juice acidity, and ripening index) did not reveal important differences between treatments. Ethanol concentration in the juice was remarkably lower in fruit treated with the two fungicides, whereas differences due to dip temperature were negligible in most cases.

Soluble solids content (SSC) is one of the important components for evaluating fruit quality. The rapid development of hyperspectral imagery provides an efficient method for non-destructive detection of SSC. Previous studies have shown that the internal quality evaluation of fruits based on spectral information features achieves better results. However, the lack of comprehensive features limits the accurate estimation of fruit quality. Therefore, the deep learning theory is applied to the estimation of the soluble solid content of peaches, a method for estimating the SSC of fresh peaches based on the deep features of the hyperspectral image fusion information is proposed, and the estimation models of different neural network structures are designed based on the stack autoencoder–random forest (SAE-RF). The results show that the accuracy of the model based on the deep features of the fusion information of hyperspectral imagery is higher than that of the model based on spectral features or image features alone. In addition, the SAE-RF model based on the 1237-650-310-130 network structure has the best prediction effect (R2 = 0.9184, RMSE = 0.6693). Our research shows that the proposed method can improve the estimation accuracy of the soluble solid content of fresh peaches, which provides a theoretical basis for the non-destructive detection of other components of fresh peaches.

The goal of this study was to predict the soluble solid content (SSC) of on-tree Marian plum fruit using two different wavelength range and algorithm. One of these was the commercial dispersion NIR spectrometer (MicroNIR 1700), providing shortwave infrared (SWIR), while the other was a making diode array spectrometer giving visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR). To search optimal model, the analytical ability of the two wavelength ranges spectrometers coupled with two algorithms: i.e. partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine regression (SVR), were investigated. Different spectral pre-processing methods were tested. The model providing the lowest root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) was selected. Overall, the proposed outcome was that the performance of SWIR was more accurate than Vis-NIR spectrometer, and that both SWIR and Vis-NIR coupled with PLSR algorithm had a higher accuracy than SVR algorithm. The best model for on-tree evaluation SSC was the SWIR constructed using the PLSR algorithm with the spectral pre-processing of the 2nd derivative, providing a coefficient of determination of calibration set (R2) of 0.81, a coefficient of determination of validation set (r2) of 0.76, RMSEP of 0.69 °Brix, and a relative standard error of prediction (RSEP) of 4.43%. The outcome showed that a portable SWIR spectrometer developed with PLSR could be used for monitoring the SSC of individual Marian plum fruit on-tree for quality assurance.
