In this paper we report a method to determine the soluble solids content (SSC) of ‘Rocha’ pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Rocha) based on their short-wave NIR reflectance spectra (500–1100 nm) measured in conditions similar to those found in packinghouse fruit sorting facilities. We obtained 3300 reflectance spectra from pears acquired from different lots, producers and with diverse storage times and ripening stages. The macroscopic properties of the pears, such as size, temperature and SSC were measured under controlled laboratory conditions. For the spectral analysis, we implemented a computational pipeline that incorporates multiple pre-processing techniques including a feature selection procedure, various multivariate regression models and three different validation strategies. This benchmark allowed us to find the best model/preproccesing procedure for SSC prediction from our data. From the several calibration models tested, we have found that Support Vector Machines provides the best predictions metrics with an RMSEP of around 0.82 ∘ Brix and 1.09 ∘ Brix for internal and external validation strategies respectively. The latter validation was implemented to assess the prediction accuracy of this calibration method under more ‘real world-like’ conditions. We also show that incorporating information about the fruit temperature and size to the calibration models improves SSC predictability. Our results indicate that the methodology presented here could be implemented in existing packinghouse facilities for single fruit SSC characterization.

Abstract. This article reports on using a Fourier series expansion method to extract features from hyperspectral scattering profiles for apple fruit firmness and soluble solids content (SSC) prediction. Hyperspectral scattering images of ‘Golden Delicious’ (GD), ‘Jonagold’ (JG), and ‘Delicious’ (RD) apples, harvested in 2009 and 2010, were acquired using an online hyperspectral imaging system over the wavelength region of 500 to 1000 nm. The moment method and Fourier series expansion method were used to analyze the scattering profiles of apples. The zeroth-first order moment (Z-FOM) spectra and Fourier coefficients were extracted from each apple, which were then used for developing fruit firmness and SSC prediction models using partial least squares (PLS) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). The PLS models based on the Fourier coefficients improved the standard errors of prediction (SEP) by 4.8% to 19.9% for firmness and by 2.4% to 13.5% for SSC, compared with the PLS models using the Z-FOM spectra. The LSSVM models for the prediction set of Fourier coefficients achieved better SEP results, with improvements of 4.4% to 11.3% for firmness and 2.8% to 16.5% for SSC over the LSSVM models for the Z-FOM spectra data and 3.7% to 12.6% for firmness and 5.4% to 8.6% for SSC over the PLS models for the Fourier coefficients. Experiments showed that Fourier series expansion provides a simple, fast, and effective means for improving Keywords: Apples, Firmness, Fourier series expansion, Hyperspectral scattering imaging, Least squares support vector machine, Partial least squares, Soluble solids content.

Ultra-violet, visible and near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was investigated for fast determination of soluble solids content (SSC) of tea beverage. In this study, a total of 120 tea samples with SSC range of 4.0-9.5 ºBrix were tested. Samples were randomly divided for calibration (n=90) and independent validation (n=30). Spectra were collected by a mobile fiber-type UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer in transmission mode with recorded wavelength range of 203.64-1128.05 nm. Various calibration approaches, i.e., principal components analysis (PCA), partial least squares (PLS) regression, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN), were investigated. The combinations of PCA-BPANN, PCA-LSSVM, PLS-BPANN and PLS-LSSVM were also investigated to build calibration models. Validation results indicated that all these investigated models achieved high prediction accuracy. Especially, PLS-LSSVM achieved best performance with mean coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.99, root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.12 and residual prediction deviation (RPD) of 15.16. This experiment suggests that it is feasible to measure SSC of tea beverage using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy coupled with appropriate multivariate calibration, which may allow using the proposed method for off-line and on-line quality supervision in the production of soft drink.

Uninformative biological variability elimination methods were studied in the near-infrared calibration model for predicting the soluble solids content of apples. Four different preprocessing methods, namely, Savitzky-Golay smoothing, multiplicative scatter correction, standard normal variate, and mean normalization, as well as their combinations were conducted on raw Fourier transform near-infrared spectra to eliminate the uninformative biological variability. Subsequently, robust calibration models were established by using partial least squares regression analysis and wavelength selection algorithms. Results indicated that the partial least squares calibration models with characteristic variables selected by CARS method coupled with preprocessing of Savitzky-Golay smoothing and multiplicative scatter correction had a considerable potential for predicting apple soluble solids content regardless of the biological variability.

Variable selection is applied widely for visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy analysis of internal quality in fruits. Different spectral variable selection methods were compared for online quantitative analysis of soluble solids content (SSC) in navel oranges. Moving window partial least squares (MW-PLS), Monte Carlo uninformative variables elimination (MC-UVE) and wavelet transform (WT) combined with the MC-UVE method were used to select the spectral variables and develop the calibration models of online analysis of SSC in navel oranges. The performances of these methods were compared for modeling the Vis-NIR data sets of navel orange samples. Results show that the WT-MC-UVE methods gave better calibration models with the higher correlation coefficient (r) of 0.89 and lower root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.54 at 5 fruits per second. It concluded that Vis-NIR spectroscopy coupled with WT-MC-UVE may be a fast and effective tool for online quantitative analysis of SSC in navel oranges.

Linear partial least square and non-linear support vector machine regression analysis with various preprocessing techniques and their combinations were used to determine the soluble solids content of hardy kiwi fruits by a handheld, portable near-infrared spectroscopy. Fruits of four species, namely Autumn sense (A), Chungsan (C), Daesung (D), and Green ball (Gb) were collected from five different areas of Gwangyang (G), Muju (M), Suwon (S), Wonju (Q), and Yeongwol (Y) in South Korea. The dataset for calibration and prediction was prepared based on each area, species, and in combination. Half of the dataset of each area, species, and combined dataset was used as calibrated data and the rest was used for model validation. The best prediction correlation coefficient ranges between 0.67 and 0.75, 0.61 and 0.77, and 0.68 for the area, species, combined dataset, respectively using partial least square regression (PLSR) method with different preprocessing techniques. On the other hand, the best correlation coefficient of predictions using the support vector machine regression (SVM-R) algorithm was 0.68 and 0.80, 0.62 and 0.79, and 0.74 for the area, species, and combined dataset, respectively. In most cases, the SVM-R algorithm produced better results with Autoscale preprocessing except G area and species Gb, whereas the PLS algorithm shows a significant difference in calibration and prediction models for different preprocessing techniques. Therefore, the SVM-R method was superior to the PLSR method in predicting soluble solids content of hardy kiwi fruits and non-linear models may be a better alternative to monitor soluble solids content of fruits. The finding of this research can be used as a reference for the prediction of hardy kiwi fruits soluble solids content as well as harvesting time with better prediction models.
